Sharon Osbourne and her Lapband

I did not know until today Sharon Osbourne was banding, I thought for sure she had a bypass, since she got the operation in 1999!

I found this on Wikipedia, and also read that she wanted to have her band removed.

Does anyone know if she still has it?

Yeah, she said the PB aspect of it aggravated her bulimia problems so she had the band removed. I know that I PB occasionally, but since I've never been a purger, it don't see that happening to me.

I hear about PBing all the time. Since I haven't been banded yet, I'm not sure if this is the same, but since I have a very bad case of GERD, I almost NEVER burp 'air'. It's always my last meal or drink when I burp, it's quite painful and my Dr told me it was a side effect of GERD.

When I used the term PBing, it didn't seem to correlate with GERD, just lap banding.

If anything, maybe that is something that will better prepare me for the after-surgery life.

Wonder how Sharon is doing as far as weight loss and maintence now, and the program she's using? Hmm.

I saw an E! true hollywood story about her a couple years ago and she was talking about her lapband. She said she was going to have it removed because she needed to try psychotherapy to deal with the reasons she overate in the first place.

I have just read an article in "Woman's Own" 8 March 2010 ( an English magazine). In it Sharon confirms that she still has her lap -band but says that it is completely empty.

This makes sense. Why remove it if it's not causing any problems.Far better to have it there ready to use again when/if you need it.

Wow... odd. I just saw on tv not too long ago where she said it was removed. Who knows what the truth really is!

I had GERD before the lapband and afterwards it was totally cured.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
