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 believe Oprah has come to terms with her size and is comfortable in her lifestyle. She really enjoys food and also works out daily. Most of these I dropped a ton of weight Fast celebrities most likely had wls especially the ones with absolutely NO muscle tone whatesoever! How do you drop 60-80lbs like that and no flab or anything~

Yeah I think Oprah is too rich to care. She was already under a microscope all of those other times she dropped weight using a fad diet. I think she is happy and comfortable in her body now.

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']

You are probably right on this. If i had a personal cook and a personal trainer as my body guard and food nazi, i probably wouldn't need WLS.

I just read an article about a celebrity chef named Art Smith who dropped a "startling 120 pounds thanks to portion control and rigorous workouts" in just two years. Uh huh. He ate a lot of salad too, apparently, which he claims is part of his success.

Whether he had WLS or not, look at his before and after pics...he must have had some plastic surgery to remove excess skin or something.

Y'all sound like all the skinny b*****s gossiping around the Water cooler at work behind your backs.

But having said that, definitely Seth Rogan.

I totally agree on Seth Rogan, Johan Hill, and Jennifer Hudson. I was pretty floored by how fast those three dropped weight. Glad I was not the only one thinking it! HA!

This thread is my guilty pleasure. I'm terrible, I know. But honestly, I secretly hope others whisper the same stuff about me someday very soon!

^{Thanks for joining us ButterBean....lol~ It's not just celebrities I look at people I know who have dropped a considerable amount of weight in a short time and wonder mmmmmmmmm.......~I love Art Smith and he is thee King of Southern Cuisine~ I was watching the latest episode of top chef masters when he got in the pool~ I was checking for some incision marks...lol~ I didn't see any but I'm sure he got a lil somethin somethin done~}

There is the single incision spider version of the sleeve where they go in through the belly button... its possible all these celebs when that route.

Not to mention if it's on tv, any scars have been covered w/makeup.

I agree.

I agree.

I always worked on myself and felt happy around people but at my heaviest wasn't really comfortable. I don't think she feels good at this weight. In the past when she would lose weight (prob. like most of us) she would talk about how good it was for her. So yes she's got a lot of it "together" but I still think she wants to change her weight-- based on her past behavior.

Jennifer Hudson did Weight Watchers.

She did Weight Watchers commercials. That doesn't preclude the possibility that she had WLS.

I think contractually, it would preclude her from being the spokesperson though.

I don't think Jonah Hill had it because he never got to an "ideal" weight and then started gaining some back. Someone brought of Octavia Spencer and I feel the same way about her. She's never been small and is still not small. I'm thinking she would have been way smaller by now.

As a side note, it says something when weight loss these days is indicative more of WLS than the traditional method.
