Doctor Says Chris Christie "Fit to Serve" Chris Christie in Seaside Heights, N.J., Sept. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has "no medical limitations," according to his doctor in a report released Friday. The politician, 51, has been slowly losing weight after he underwent gastric bypass surgery in February, and promised he would release his medical records during a debate with Democrat Barbara Buono three weeks ago. Christie's hypertension and asthma are under control, and cardiovascular test results were normal, his cardiologist wrote in the report. Buono's medical records, released last week, show her to be in excellent health. Christie is seeking a second term in the gubernatorial elections on Nov. 5.
