Banded Celebrities

[shortgal 5]

Sharon Osbourne can afford a therapist for years to figure out "why" she eats, but so can Oprah and she hasn't figured it out yet.

While they are all trying to figure it out, I could be dead from the excess weight. And her cancer might be another reason why she wanted the band removed.

I don't consider Sharon Osbourne to be "the average person" emotionally or otherwise. Her family is crazy, funny but crazy. Not exactly your average family. And the husband can barely speak a cohesive sentence. The dogs pee all over the house, is there anything "normal" about them?

Not someone I would take any advice from.

Khaliah Ali wrote a book about her lap band experience. It's called Fighting Weightloss and it's on bargain right now on Amazon for only $6! I just ordered it. Personally, I am a big proponent of motivation and reading books about someone's personal journey or watching TV shows about weightloss (I am a Biggest Loser fan) really helps keep me motivated!

I'm the same which is why I'm getting really addicted to this wonderful site; I need all the support I can get!! Thanks for posting about the book!!

I usually watch the Today show and it looks like Al is putting some weight back on. He didn't have the band, though. He had gastric bypass.

I don't think Ann Wilson was successful with the band. She did lose some weight, but it didn't seem to be very much.

If I remember the story correctly, Inamed approached her with the idea that she would be banded and be a spokesperson for the lap band.

To me, seeing what happened with Ann Wilson really emphasizes that the Lap Band is a tool to use to help you lose weight, not the answer to losing weight.

Ali's book is on my nightstand right now :biggrin2:

I just saw Ann Wilson on American Idol. She has gained the 60 pounds back and then some. I feel for her. I hope she can find a solution, because it is such a terrible thing to go through.

Yeah I'm watching too. She lost her band? I thought she still had it.
