Banded rich and famous???



Recommended Posts

Silly post but I am curious to know who in the world is banded. I heard Sharon Ozborn is banded. I was surprised because I thought she got the RNY.

Anybody else you know of?

There is a previous thread on this subject, which was quite interesting. I would bump it for ya, but I'm not real good at bumping, well at least on LBT, LMAO.

Anne Wilson from the rock group Heart has the LAP Band. I believe Randy Jackson from American Idol has the VBG. There is also a female boxer (I can't remember her name but she's a famous boxer's daughter) who has the LAP Band. I also read that Sharon Osborn has the band, but I'm not sure if it's the LAP Band or another type of surgery.

The Boxer is Muhammad Ali . His daughter Khaliah Ali (not the female boxer, her sister is the female boxer Laila Ali) She had lapband surgery. I also believe that Star Jones had lapband too. We will never know who had what in Hollywood unless the paparazzi gets the scoop!

I don't think the old thread gives any more names than what have already been listed here..........cuz there aren't any other celebs who are 'out' about having a band....yet.

P.S. Randy Jackson did not have the VBG; he had the 'Fobi pouch' variation of the Roux-en-Y

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
