I've heard of airlines requiring "larger" passengers to pay for two seats or upgrade to first class because they can't fit in a regular coach-class seat.
On the one hand, I don't like the idea of heavier passengers being forced to pay double, especially if they're overweight through no fault of their own (hormone imbalance etc), and/or if the flight isn't full.
On the other hand, I've been in the middle seat between two heavy passengers on more than one occasion. It is most unpleasant! Especially if the one in the aisle seat falls asleep and you have to use the restroom...!
What the airlines should do, is make the darn coach seats bigger. But then, they'd be able to fit fewer seats in each aircraft, and that would bring in less revenue... it's all about the almighty dollar...
