Which celebrity do YOU think needs the Lap Band?



Recommended Posts

Let's face it, a few of those celebrities could stand to loose a few pounds. Who do you think needs the Lap Band to control their eating?

Here's a few I think need to have the ole' stomach cinched:

1.) Oprah

2.) Kirsty Alley

3.) Carnie Wilson (even though she can't have it)

Who do you think?

Oh I think it would be more fun to speculate on who already had one. Along that note I saw Meatloaf on a cell phone service commercial and he is so much thinner. Anyone know if he had lap band or gastric bypass possibly?

Oprah! I never want to hear about another one of her stupid diets again. Everytime, THIS is the one that will work. She gives out so much advice about losing weight, yet she struggles with the same old pounds time and time again. When is she going to realise that she's fighting a losing battle? Its not that I dont sympathise with the battle, but I'm tired of hearing how she knows it all!

I reckon Kirstey Alley needs one too, anyone with a serious weight problem really.

I love Vince Vaughn. He's a big cuddly bear, my ideal man. I like men just every so slightly chubby, dont find buff blokes in the least bit attractive - and dont like men who are too into their own looks. He looks manly to me, not fat, although he probably is overweight.

I love when Oprah gets fat...

Honestly, I'd nominate Tony Soprano and I second John Goodman, but I choose to keep all of the women of hollywood that are overweight, overweight....

In fact, I want to surgically implant the OPPOSITE of the Lap Band in the following people:

Callista Flockhart

The Olsen Twins

Paris Hilton

The lead singer of Maroon 5

and many, many more!!!

Artie Lang the comedian. He's really struggling. Also Louie Anderson. He looks like he's really not doing well health-wise. These are really funny people, I'd like to keep them around.

I second you karen on the artie lange tip. I've been watching him on tv thinking, god if he would get the band he'd be really attractive again and possibly not die. As for woman I would say The snapple lady that's always on celeb fit club, I like that lady or sally struthers or the girl from hairspray.

queen latifah is gorgeous and healthy. what is she, maybe a size 16? she doesn't need fat people on the internet talking about how fat she is.

and do you mean vincent d'onofrio? he's overweight in LOCI, but that man can lose weight or gain weight for a role when he wants to. he doesn't need a surgical implant to help him.

i'm not trying to be crabby, but really, why do we sit around judging celebrities about their weight. yes, some of them probably do need WLS because they have been struggling with being morbidly obese. but since when is someone who's just overweight (like Vince Vaughn) a candidate for WLS in our eyes? What happened to all of the rhetoric about how hollywood has distorted our body images and our views of thin? VV being so fat he needs WLS is definitely a hollywood distorted body image.

I'm a size 16 and I got the Lap Band. It's not about size, it's about health. Any amount of weight that is over the idea body weight is unhealthy and life threatening.

      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.
