Has Oprah had WLS?



Recommended Posts

It means Weight Loss Surgery. Not sure if she has or not? You would think the press would be all over that but who knows?

She said she has never had any kind of surgery, i.e. facelift, tummytuck.

It would really suprise me to find out if she had. I dont think she would hide it, she doesnt seem to be the type. Besides I dont think she can go to the loo without the press knowing about it.

Although people are descretionary about their WLS Oprah would not be I'm sure...not with her vast audience. She would make a whole show out of it. I just think she gains and loses and she has gained a little again. She has a personal trainer and chef........how can you go wrong. I really don't think she has had by-pass. She is an up front, in your face person, that would not keep it a secret. She would be doing a show on all the do's and dont's, but unlike Star Jones she wouldn't be ragging on being "fat and beautiful" at any point in her life. Oprah is too honest to pull a stunt like that, and could never keep it under wraps. Hell, they even found out overseas when she wasn't let into a store when it was closing....everything in her life gets out. Star Jones...she's a wannabee. Oprah is the real deal, although I switch the channel constantly to Ellen who is much more fun to watch. She makes me happy on my bad days with her great attitude, and I care nothing about her sexual orientation. I think she is basically just a sweet person.:focus:.

I took a few more minutes and thought about what I have just said, and then I wondered. If Oprah can get by about lying about the curly wig she wears, and making excuses that her producer called her into her office about her own hair (which she was just wearing straight for awhile) perhaps she is capable of having flown someone to her private island in the Caribbean to do this surgery. I just came in to edit this, because I know that is a wig she is wearing and she won't ever own up to it. It is so vastly different from her own hair that it is obvious.

Also I am old enough to remember when Oprah was the pits...right there with Maury Povich, dishing paternity results and raising cain on her show. She wasn't always what she comes across as today. I remember when she was just another Sally Jesse Raphael dishing gossip and having fights on the show. I guess you have to be older to remember the old Oprah with the Tina Turner wigs.

Everything I have ever heard from her and Dr. Phil is anti- WLS. I can't see her having it and then bashing it so publicly. I would think that she would be affraid that if anyone found out she had the surgery and lied about it she would be ruined. Just me 2 cents. ~Mandy

(END QUOTE DODY) Well DODY speaking of Hair weave which is what Oprah has it is called a quick weave. Some of her hair is incorperated in the weave. I say if she bought it is hers! LOL SO she wears a wig so what! If she doesn't own up to it, so what. SHe is not bashing wig, weave, toupee wearing people on her show. I love her hair and I think it looks good. I don't think she has had WLS but I do think she had something done to her eyes for the puffiness.

It wouldnt surprise me although Oprah does seem honest. Who would really know though? I dont even know who Star Jones is but I reckon Kirstey Alley did.

I really believe Kristi Alley is on Nutri-System. She is a spokesperson for it. She too will probably gain it back.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
