Health: NJ Man Turns To 3 On Your Side For Help Getting Weight Loss Surgery

By Stephanie Stahl

SEWELL, NJ (CBS) Weight loss surgery is a life saver for millions and is often prescribed by doctors when diets dont work. Its routinely covered by insurance, so why did one New Jersey father get turned down? With his life in jeopardy, the family turned to 3 On Your Side desperate for help.

Its a struggle just to stand for Bill Conway. He weighs 505 pounds and cant walk on his own. But he still tries to play with his young sons.

Its killing me. You know, its justmy life has been challenging like you wouldnt believe, said Bill.

He has so much trouble doing so many things, said William, Bills son.

Bill, whos six-foot-four-inches and lives in Sewell, New Jersey, says hes always struggled with his weight, but never like this.

He broke his back in a horrific car crash 12 years ago, and then there were a series of complications and knee injuries.

From that accident to today there was continual weight gain. Initially after that first year, there was really no activity that I could really do, said Bill.

He says the weight gain got even worse because of depression, prescription drugs and being laid off. Twenty pounds turned into 50 pounds and then hundreds more.

Stephanie asked, Not to be insensitive, but Im sure youve heard people say, Why dont you just not eat so much?
