Silly post but I am curious to know who in the world is banded. I heard Sharon Ozborn is banded. I was surprised because I thought she got the RNY.

Anybody else you know of?

ME!!

Ok - so I'm probably not famous yet... but my wife likes me :eek:

There is a previous thread on this subject, which was quite interesting. I would bump it for ya, but I'm not real good at bumping, well at least on LBT, LMAO.

Anne Wilson from the rock group Heart has the LAP Band. I believe Randy Jackson from American Idol has the VBG. There is also a female boxer (I can't remember her name but she's a famous boxer's daughter) who has the LAP Band. I also read that Sharon Osborn has the band, but I'm not sure if it's the LAP Band or another type of surgery.

Wikipedia lists:

Khaliah Ali (daughter of Muhammad Ali)

Brian Dennehy

Anne Diamond

Sharon Osbourne

Ann Wilson

The Boxer is Muhammad Ali . His daughter Khaliah Ali (not the female boxer, her sister is the female boxer Laila Ali) She had lapband surgery. I also believe that Star Jones had lapband too. We will never know who had what in Hollywood unless the paparazzi gets the scoop!

oooh interesting! Can someone bump the old thread?

I don't think the old thread gives any more names than what have already been listed here..........cuz there aren't any other celebs who are 'out' about having a band....yet.

P.S. Randy Jackson did not have the VBG; he had the 'Fobi pouch' variation of the Roux-en-Y

I think this is the thread!
