Carnie Wilson



Recommended Posts

So Carnie Wilson, had Gastric bypass in 1999, and then the lap band in 2004. She has only lost 40 pounds since her revision. I suspect she will be getting the sleeve soon.

Speaking of famous people (or semi famous people). I'm thinking Boy George and Chaz Bono had WLS.

Any thoughts?

I read the article wrong. She had Lap-band surgery in 2012.

I was thinking of going the bypass route until I saw Lisa Lampanelli's (comedian) weight loss with the Sleeve. She lost 80 pounds in 5 mouths and looks great. I started reseaching the Sleeve immediately.

I knew that Carnie has WLS twice (didn't know which kind) and I recently watched her on Celebrity Chef and was surprised that she hadn't lost more weight.

If Chaz Bono had WLS, I don't want his/her surgeon. I remember seeing somewhere that Chaz was saving/working toward gender reassignment surgery. Poor Carnie Wilson. I think someone has missed the boat with her. She truly needs someone to help her deal with the mental aspects of her weight loss journey, IMO.

I just saw her on a show the wife watches. Its called celebrity wife swap... personally can't stand her. Seeing how she lives her life off camera just reinforced my opinion on her. I will admit I did feel a little sorry for her while watching the show.

It appears Carnie had gastric bypass in 1999 and lost 150. Then had two pregnancies and regained much of the weight so in January 2012, she had lap band surgery.

I wish her the best on her journey.

That is a VERY good link! I am putting it in my signature. It lines out very clearly who should and shouldn't get the surgery.

Good find, NSquared!!! :)

this should be on the banner for this site "Bariatric surgery is not an alternative to lifestyle change, it is a tool to help people become more successful at lifestyle changes. Bariatric surgery is surgery though and therefore comes with risks. For that reason, it is only appropriate when the benefits outweigh the risks." Every newbie that comes here should have to read this before joining up.

Much of Carnie Wilson's weight re-gain after her bypass had to do with her being an alcoholic. She was drinking a bottle of wine a day.

Some people have addictive personalities. It may be genetic. Her father has dealt with substance abuse problems and mental illness his whole life.

      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.
