Do you think Celebs & other famous people have Lapband surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm just curious. As I've cruised around different postings, I've noticed that many people, including myself, choose not to disclose their decision to have lapband surgery with others (friends, family, co-wrokers, etc). It is definitely a personal choice.

Most celebrities and other famous people make it their business, literally, to remain slim. I know most have trainers and private chefs but I really wonder if any of them have had lapband surgery but have managed to keep it quite.

What do you think?

:guess

I think they do, I think it might be very common. Obviously, I have no evidence, LOL.

The only one I know of off the top of my head is Sharon Osborne. She has been making the talk show rounds (to promote her new book) and has been saying that she is going to have hers removed.

Well, I am singer with the full intention to be a leading lady on Broadway some day....

=)

So YES this soon-to-be-famous girl WILL be getting a lap band. (Waiting for insurance approval.) Lol. I love the 1:00 am discussions. You guys rock!!

Love, Sheila

I also suspect that maybe Star Jones has a lapband since she was so insistent that she never had gastric bypass. Just a thought...

Except she lost it so fast...and has that 'look' that you see on so many gastric bypass patients. My money is still on bypass for Star Jones...me thinketh the lady protesteth too much.

I don't mean people who actually came forward, I personally think there are many famous poeple who havent said a word. What about Nicole Richie, she has lost over 60 pounds and is now anorexic.

I wonder about Barbara Jean off of Reba... she either had the band or GBP to lose that kind of weight over the off-season. I know that Ann Wilson was a big supporter of the lapband after her surgery, she's one of the singers from Heart.

I wouldn't say Richie had it cause she wasn't that overweight to start with she had a few love handles and fat on her thighs, plus she wears a bathing suit often in the summer and she had no wls scars. Star Jones does have wls scars, but who cares:bored

I didn't even think about her. She did lose that weight pretty fast.

i love Oprah, but i think she had "something" done.

I was thinking the same thing. She's starting to look too like like Beyonce or something.

Yep, I was suspicious of Oprah as well. Also, possibly Anna Nicole Smith.

      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.
