AARP Magazine

[Don 5]

Got my new AARP monthly magazine today and Sharon Osbourne was on the cover and the topic was weight loss surgery and how it helps people who have medical problems. They only talked about the bypass and the sleeve. I plan on writing a response concerning the VSG. I didn't know Sharon had had it. She looks good now (of course she has had some plastic surgery as well).

I think you men bypass and band- no sleeve mentioned. I was annoyed about that. In addition, they said she had the band and she had the bypass! There were lots of other inaccuracies about food regimens afterwards, etc. I was happy to see the cover feature and then very disappointed in the article.

Did she have gastric bypass after the band? Everything I'd heard (which I admit is very limited info) was that she had the band but later had it removed. Did she have a conversion over to R-n-Y? I just did a quick check and found two articles that said the same. I had no idea she was once 100 pounds overweight.

Aside from seeing an interview with her about a year ago when she talked about having the band removed I don't know that much about her. I think sometimes I'm lucky that I don't have cable.

I stand corrected- I have always heard she had a bypass- I think I also did not realize they had been doing bands for that long! I wonder why she had it removed?

Probably the same reason all of the rest of us had it removed. Bands suck.
