Hello everyone, as I begin my sleeve journey I now see people a lil differently in terms of their dramatic weight loss. I know a few people that have been sleeved that were open about their surgery and some I speculate have had it done~ Everyone knew when Star Jones got gastric because it was super obvious! With all the recent weight loss endorsements by Celebrities I always wondered which ones were real and which ones werent~//

Have you ever seen a friend, someone in passing or a Celebrity and wondered to yourself...Mmmmmmmm I wonder if they were sleeved!??

I have a few in mind how about you????????????

I don't believe that J Hudson did weight watchers alone! I believe she had weight loss surgery~ that's my final answer!!!!

The lies are what is making me want to tell the world about the sleeve! I don't want to provide people with false hope~ especially those that have been struggling with their weight for years~ #ijs#

I totally agree with you!! Until I started this process, I thought I was the only one struggling and everybody else was getting it together. Now, I realize that so many people in my hometown and so many celebrities have had WLS!

I believe Jennifer Hudson had some type of surgical intervention as well, the way her body is shaped, it doesn't look like she's done a lot of exercise to build muscle, and she lost the weight extremely fast. I also wouldn't believe everything that the celebs or the media says, these people's careers are about selling the public a fantasy - and there's not really that many actors who gain/lose weight for specific roles.

I think she loss more then 30 lbs to ...

I'm kinda torn on this one. Most actors & actresses are very motivated & diciplined people. They gain & lose weight for movie rolls on a regular basis. Look at Sylvester Stallone in Copland or Uma Thurman in the movie Monster. These are two examples of 2 normally very healthy people that gained significant weight quickly' date=' the removed it quickly afterward.

One of the major differences here is not only are they diciplined, but they have the means to hire a professional trainer/dietician/chef full time. Though I believe that many in Hollywood have used WLS to trim themselves, I don't believe it's as rampant as we would like to believe.[/quote']

Charlize Theron was in Monster.

Also, Christina Ricci is TINY compared to what she used to be.

You are very correct. I got one hot blonde mixed up w/another.

All I can say is that of someone was like, "You can have 50 million dollars if you get skinny and stay that way" I could have done it.

I would have been miserable and starving and maybe even slowly dying. But I would have figured out how to do it.

Money is a great motivator.

I wish someone would give me a million dollars LOL yeah I've always thought Jennifer Hudson had WLS..

Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison of "pawn stars" had wls

I told my Hubby Corey was looking slimmer these days. He still has a way to go. Hope he keeps it up!

Christina Ricci has been very open about having anorexia. She looked better with more weight. I wonder if she had a reduction because her boobs used to be HUGE.

She has been topless in quite a few movies and there aren't any scars. Maybe she just loses those when she drops weight. Like me

There are two male actors, Seth Rogan and.... I can't remember his name but he was in Moneyball with Brad Pitt, both of these guys lost a lot of weight fast.

You're thinking of Jonah Hill. Seth Rogan DID lose weight awfully fast, didn't he?

I think Raven Symone may have had wls, she seems to have gotten very small pretty quickly. Not sure if she was mentioned earlier in this thread.

What about Oprah? Why does she choose to remain fat when she can get healthy and look good again.

That one just stumps me.

Kirstie Alley? I think she had WLS.
