I guess it would difficult to argue against those numbers, however I can't say that I'd taken more sick days than my colleagues when I worked for a company. It's no surprise that obese people tend to have more health issues, probably don't have as strong immune systems, etc, etc as people with lower BMI's. I don't think it's the weight, in and of itself, it's the health issues that come along with carrying excess weight.
