no, he looks thin. He had pancreatic cancer. The pancreas is a primarily digestive organ. You cut out the pancreas, people don't digest as efficiently. After several years, they tend to loose weight. This is actually why cystic fibrosis patients are thin also: their pancreas becomes plugged with mucus and they have problems digesting enough protein. There are enzyme tablets for just this sort of thing.
