DALLAS - A man who weighed 558 pounds when a Missouri judge prevented him from adopting a child he and his wife had taken into their home underwent gastric
bypass surgery Friday in a bid to win the child back.
Gary Stocklaufer, a
34-year-old truck driver, and his wife claim a judge unfairly discriminated
against them because of his weight in deciding to give 4-month-old Max to
another couple for possible adoption. The infant from Arlington, who is related
to the Stocklaufers, had lived with them since he was a week old.
In this end this is something that is going to benefit him as well, as it may help him get the child back. It seems that there is no confirmation yet that the operation will assure the childs return.
