Weight-loss surgery could not save Londoner Keith Martin, 44, who died from

Keith Martin, 44, died from pneumonia following a lengthy battle with his
weight.
It happened just eight months after Mr Martin - who weighed 70 stone at his
heaviest - had undergone a successful gastric sleeve which removed
three-quarters of his stomach.
Now the surgeon who tried to save him with life-changing weight-loss surgery
is calling for the government to swiftly impose a fast-food tax as he backed
NHS plans to offer more gastric surgeries to high-risk patients.
