Your friend is fortunate to have your concern. It is a difficult circumstance to deal with. At some point a good Bariatric surgery program may be helpful but he needs to correct the basic issues first.

Good luck!
I agree with all this, but I might add that if your friend is not committed to doing anything about his condition, nothing may change.
