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 think we're judging them-just pondering 'what ifs' since they seemed to lose the weight fast. I didn't know about Sharon Osborne, but now I think Kelly did- she's always regained her lost weight, now she hasnt...interesting. If she did, great! If she didn't-great, too! No judgin', just sayin'!

I do think Jennifer Hudson had some kind of WLS... When she was losing Weight Watchers decided to have her be their spokes person and that is why she has kept it quiet! Look here is the thing, I have done WW pre-sleeve and continue to do it now! I will do it once the weight is gone too! It is an awesome program but I do think J Hud has had some type of Surgery

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' date=' 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.

I don't think he looks like he had any plastics. He still has some old man boobies and a belly pooch. Last time I lost 80lbs I had about the same pooch left and I'm praying this time it will be about the same cause I don't want a TT. He's been talking about his weight loss for a while and I really don't think it was from wls. Think I'll keep my eye on him. See if he gains any back.

Gustavo...at the end of the day' date=' I will have lost all my weight "thanks to portion control and vigorous workouts." LOL Of course, the only reason I could manage the "portion control" part of that equation was to have 80% of my stomach removed! (But that's just detail...right??) ;-P[/quote']

Semantics. Love having the built in portion control!

I just wanna say Sharon O had a band.
