A man, about to undergo bypass surgery, is binging before the fateful day. A dubious use of medical dollars on someone who’s clearly doubtful to stay compliant post-surgery:

“I”m gonna go everywhere I wanna go. I”m gonna eat everything I wanna eat. I”m in full swing now,” said Stockbridge, a 325-pound, 5-foot-10-inch city worker who”s halfway through a two-week binge as he hits all his favorite local food haunts prior to undergoing gastric bypass surgery.

“I think I”m going to miss the buffets the most,” he added. “I always got my money”s worth on the buffets.”

Stockbridge, 33, acknowledged that he”s going “against medical advice at this point” as he valiantly tried but failed to finish off a 64-ounce prime rib ordered specially for him by the owner of C.F. Donovan”s in Dorchester.
