I wouldn't think so, but I'm not in HR, either. They could make them pay a higher rate for being insured than "healthy" employees...however that is determined. The surgery would be less than long-run insurance costs forked out by the company for the employee, due to less obesity related issues.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

Cue the in Alabama your employer can fire you for anything and you can't do anything about it crowd. Not legally, but they can find or create another reason. They could put the fat person on a “layoff “ list and not have to give a reason as to why the fat guy was picked. That’s completely legal.

When I worked for Texas Instruments, usually once a year we would go through a RIF (Reduction In Force). Which means TI would say they had too many workers and had to lay off employees. But the layoffs would target the ones management did not want to keep around.

My company sells construction products and we have sold 5X safety vests.
That's a big ole guy/gal to be in construction.
