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?

It is interesting about how these celebs really lost their major poundage, but I know that Star had GBP for sure. Roseanne even had it done, but didn't have much luck with it. Wynnona should consider something for sure. I don't believe Oprah had anything but diet and exercise, cuz every time you see her, sometimes she looks so slim, and other times she looks like she gained 5 or 10 pounds...lol

I wonder about Delta Burke too from Designing Women...she slimmed down alot.

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.

An actress on that show came out about having an eating disorder. I saw it on one of those gossip shows - she was a redhead and really sickly skinny.

I'm convinced Kirstie Alley and Anna Nicole both did *something*. Imagine how many lawsuits would crop up against Trim Spa and Jenny Craig if I am right and it ever came out?

I think Oprah has the band for sure.

Can plastic surgery really get completely rid of surgery scars? Thats what I wonder about with celebrities, because even after nearly a year, my abdominal scars are very obvious.

It may be that part of the answer is also makeup. Movie makeup pros could make me look like Brad Pitt.

Note to self: Don't hire movie makeup pros.

Wynonna should so have this surgery. She is so beautiful. I am a big fan of hers from years ago.

Speaking of Roseanne, how could you not have results from bypass? That is just funny to me.

Al Roker had GB looks like he's lost 100 lbs or so, but he does'nt look medium sized. He still looks overweight to me.:phanvan

The thing about Al Roker is he seems to have gained some of the weight back. A couple years ago Al had that typical look of a prison labor camp survivor that GB patients seem to have, and since then he seems to have gained back at least 30 or 40 pounds. He is still less than before the surgery, but some of the weight is coming back.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that?

No it's not just you, that's why I said he still looks overweight to me...I'm glad with the lapband it can be adjusted when the weightloss comes to a stall. I'll hate to go thru with major wls like with GB and still be obese:faint:

Randy Jackson from American Idol had it done but he looks like he is gaining weight too.....Im with you on the Al Roker...He is an odd looking man.

Randy Jackson is odd looking too

Indeed he is. Star Jones has a weird looking head too. Like her skull bones are too big. It just looks odd like she might fall over from the weight of her head.

I AGREE I THINK THE SAME THINK AND TO ALL YOUR OPINIONS . BUT FOR A FACT iHAVE A FRIEND THAT DID THE LAPBAND AND A TUMMY TUCK AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE HER SCARS . ITS ALL ABOUT YOUR SKIN AND OVIOULSY THE DOCTOR . YOU KNOW THAT IF i WOULD NEED A TUMMYTUCK I GOING TO THE SAME DOCTOR SHE WENT TO

I was listening to the radio this morning and they said that Randy lost a whole bunch of weight. I guess we will see when Idol starts......

Buck Rogers had Gastric surgery. I just watched it on Discover Health last night. He got up over 300 pounds.

He got up over 300 pounds.

Hey, what are you trying to say.
