Do you think Celebs & other famous people have Lapband surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm just curious. As I've cruised around different postings, I've noticed that many people, including myself, choose not to disclose their decision to have lapband surgery with others (friends, family, co-wrokers, etc). It is definitely a personal choice.

Most celebrities and other famous people make it their business, literally, to remain slim. I know most have trainers and private chefs but I really wonder if any of them have had lapband surgery but have managed to keep it quite.

What do you think?

I think they do, I think it might be very common. Obviously, I have no evidence, LOL.

The only one I know of off the top of my head is Sharon Osborne. She has been making the talk show rounds (to promote her new book) and has been saying that she is going to have hers removed.

Well, I am singer with the full intention to be a leading lady on Broadway some day....

=)

So YES this soon-to-be-famous girl WILL be getting a lap band. (Waiting for insurance approval.) Lol. I love the 1:00 am discussions. You guys rock!!

Love, Sheila

I also suspect that maybe Star Jones has a lapband since she was so insistent that she never had gastric bypass. Just a thought...

;)

Except she lost it so fast...and has that 'look' that you see on so many gastric bypass patients. My money is still on bypass for Star Jones...me thinketh the lady protesteth too much.

I don't mean people who actually came forward, I personally think there are many famous poeple who havent said a word. What about Nicole Richie, she has lost over 60 pounds and is now anorexic.

I wonder about Barbara Jean off of Reba... she either had the band or GBP to lose that kind of weight over the off-season. I know that Ann Wilson was a big supporter of the lapband after her surgery, she's one of the singers from Heart.

I wouldn't say Richie had it cause she wasn't that overweight to start with she had a few love handles and fat on her thighs, plus she wears a bathing suit often in the summer and she had no wls scars. Star Jones does have wls scars, but who cares:bored

I didn't even think about her. She did lose that weight pretty fast.

i love Oprah, but i think she had "something" done.

I was thinking the same thing. She's starting to look too like like Beyonce or something.

Yep, I was suspicious of Oprah as well. Also, possibly Anna Nicole Smith.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
