Considering all things: His life has greatly improved and he's enjoying the mobility he has. He enjoys food still - and enjoys that he has some control. The surgery gave him a way to learn that control.He also understands that gaining it back might kill him - and he regained a will to live some time back. These things make it more likely that he'll keep much of it off. The biggest kicker, however, is that he's still likely not getting psychological care (it costs money) and loneliness is a huge issue. If these outweigh the above, it might not work out.
