Famous People with the Lapband

[InTheCityGirl 0]

Hey guys-watching a special on Discovery Channel about Ann Wilson (who got the band). Love those gals. Takes me back to the good ole 80s.

Who are the other famous band recipients?

1. Ann Wilson

2. M. Ali's daughter Leila (sp?)

3. Sharon Osbourne

seem to be the only ones I have heard of. Anyone else?

Isn't that their own private business? Why do we need to know? Are we so obsessed with celebrity that we have to know their medical details?

Sharon Osbourne got the band? I did not know that! Very interesting!

I think Sharon had the band removed.

I think the reason people want to know what celebrity has the band is because they are in the public eye. They can offer insight and give knowledge etc to their own experience.

Star Jones lost so much weight, everyone wants to know how, etc.

M. Ali's daughter is a big advocate of the band, I read a story she wrote, interesting.

IT's really not private if they tell people publically.

If you get a chance, read Aliyah Ali's book - she really did a great job describing her history and her experience with the band. Great read!

She has already admitted that she got bypass.

You really are mature aren't you?

Instead of publicising your low mental age, why not be constructive? But you can't do that can you. It's too much effort.

GTH.

Come on guys - I've always found this to be a really supportive and positive place to visit. Being judgemental and condescending is no help to anyone. While some may not be interested in celebrities - and believe their lives are their own - others are interested and take comfort in the fact that someone they perhaps look up to (for whatever reason) have been through a similar struggle and looked for a similar solution. Let's try and support each other and if you don't agree - then don't respond.

I watched the same show yesterday also, but I have to admit it was a little discouraging to me that in 18 months she had only lost 50 lbs. But then I think, a 50 lb loss is better than gaining. I just wonder how true to her restriction is she? Am I a bad person for thinking this?

I knew he'd be back. :heh:

I feel bad for people who live their lives in anger over such silly things.

Wow, it's really mature to tell people to GTH too....my mom always taught me that if I don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all....

I think that having the band can be so easily 'covered' that many clebs keep it private.
