Annie Wilson's lapband what happened?



Recommended Posts

wow - Heart... I saw Heart at the tangerine bowl in Orlando in 1981-82 - somewhere in there - I was 110 lbs back then, thats about half my weight now. Seeing those pics in this thread just brought back alot of memories.

I think there are alot more famous people who have it done that we don't know about - like Star Jones - she insisted she didn't have bypass but never fessed up to the band.

Here is a picture of Ann Wilson at a concert in Chicago taken last night....It looks like she has gained all of her weight back. ~Mandy

Wow...Ann looks beautiful despite the weight gain! Thanks for the pic! And how ironic....I'm sitting here listening to XM radio and "Even It Up" just came on!

Happy 4th of July!

Yeah I heard the same thing........that Ann had her band removed and gained all her weight back.

Did the younger Judd (is it Naomi or Wynona?) have surgery. I saw her on Oprah a while back and she stated that she really wanted to lose weight but just couldn't seem to do it. I thought then that she would be a good band candidate.

Ann is still beautiful thouh, isn't she???? Hope her health is ok.

Heart is in my city today, July 4, doing a free concert at a July 4 celebration. My back problems are in full force so I cannot go. It's killing me (missing Heart, that is)!! I absolutely love them. They blazed the trail for women in rock.

I'm in Cincinnati. Heart is performing in Blue Ash, a northern suburb with apparently a pretty big budget for entertainment! Did you see the VH-1 Rock Honors concert in May? Heart was one of the inductees and they did 2 songs. I think I'll go see if it's still available for replay. I'll close my eyes and pretend I'm there--in air conditioning instead of the 91-degrees of the outdoor venue!

Hi folks,

I found this thread very interesting. I'm a big fan of Heart, and a little while ago another fan asked this same question on the message board of the Heart website. That post is no longer there (the administrators "clean" the message board regularly), but the response from one of the message board administrators was that Ann hasn't had the band removed but she also is not having it adjusted.....that the "apparatus broke" awhile back, and that Ann "no longer considers it a priority in her life". There was no commentary about complications (reflux, vocal) from the band and no commentary directly from Ann herself.

BTW I think she looks good in that picture where she's playing the flute. I saw Heart during their Brigade tour (1990 or so) and from recollection she was bigger then than she is now.

Someone was asking if there were other "celebs" that have the band...

A bandster friend recommended Khaliah Ali's (the boxer's daughter) book Fighting Weight: How I Achieved Healthy Weight Loss with "Banding," a New Procedure That Eliminates Hunger--Forever

I agree. It was a good book, although some of the info on other operations was out of date. (Seem to remember bits on DS being out of date.) My library had a gazillion copies--so I just borrowed one. One thing that ANNOYED me was how the writer used the term Water instead of saline for fills. For some reason, that really bothered me... as I found it misleading.

      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.
