Celebrities

sign45.gifI have read a couple of posts that mention being annoyed over celebrities who lose weight through surgery and will not tell the truth. For a few weeks now I have been really bugged by two people in particular one of the is Kelly Osborne. Here is why, she has been overweight her entire life she has talked about not caring on the reality show she was on with her family, then recently I see her on E, stick thin, except for her legs she is stick thin, I thought: "Man!!!!! How did she do this???" Then a magazine came out with her talking about how she did it, no carbs, gallons of water a day. Okay....but for some reason I wonder if she has at least had the lap band. Then yesterday the second one that I thought: "REALLLLLLY" was Wynona Judd, another one who her entire life struggled and now is looking thinner and thinner...she says she is losing tons of weight through electroneuro something therapy. Again I am happy for their weight loss BUT seriously if that's all there is to it then everyone else should be able to do it too. Who do you guys suspect of having surgery in Hollywood? Another thing I wonder is Oprah...she has never even once talked about it and she has the money and insurance I am sure to cover it. What's your take? confused.gif

I found this tidbit of info online.

Celebrities who have had traditional gastric bypass weight loss surgery include :

  • Star Jones (TV personality)
  • Carnie Wilson (singer in Wilson Phillips, TV personality)
  • Al Roker (weatherman on Today Show, author)
  • John Popper (lead singer of Blues Traveler, songwriter)
  • Michael Genadry (actor)

The Fobi Pouch method is a variation of the roux-en-y gastric bypass procedure, which uses a band to divide the stomach, creating a smaller pouch.

Celebrities who underwent the Fobi Pouch method of gastric bypass surgery include :

  • Randy Jackson (American Idol judge, musician, record producer)
  • Roseanne Barr (actress, comedienne)
  • Etta James (singer)
  • Jo Marie Payton (actress)
  • Jennifer Holliday (singer, actress)

LAP-BAND® System Surgery

Unlike gastric bypass surgery, the LAP-BAND® System does not reroute the intestines. Instead, a silicone band is used to create a small pouch at the top of the stomach. Although not as popular in the United States as gastric bypass surgery, LAP-BAND® System surgery is typically less expensive and is both adjustable and reversible.

Celebrities who have had LAP-BAND® surgery include :

  • Sharon Osbourne (TV personality, music manager/promoter, wife of Ozzy Osbourne)
  • Ann Wilson (lead singer of the rock band Heart)
  • Khaliah Ali (fashion designer, author, daughter of Muhammad Ali)
  • Joe Gannascoli (actor)
  • Brian Dennehy (actor)
  • Anne Diamond (British TV personality)
  • Mikey Robbins (Australian media personality)
