Lap Band on THE VIEW

[shagamelic 0]

I had the same question Marimaru. What is lapband w/ rerouting. Do they rearrange you so you don't absorb everything??? I will have to google that. I too watched the View and was very disappointed. Not what I expected. I found out about the band last November when they had an article in Womens World magazine. I wish now i had saved that article. This is what led me here. I have been lurking around since then. Just starting to feel more comfortable posting.

That is great it will be on the "View" as Star Jones probably had this procedure and is just not telling anyone.

Alexandra that was my very first thought...Star Jones telling the truth about her weight loss "coming out of the Bandster Closet" TEHE!

Oprah is once again gaining weight and it is apparent...I don't think she has had any type of surgery. As for Wynonna...she loves food and is NOT ready to change that aspect of her life. I love her anyway. She is truly beautiful. I can't stand her mother however.

Star Jones had bypass..sure of it. She couldn't have lost as fast on the band.

I'm not so sure - Star didn't lose her weight all that fast. It just took time for it to become really apparent. It's taken her well over a year to get down to where she is now. Lot's of people with the band lose over a hundred pounds in one year. Remember, she has people to cook for her and a personal trainer to keep her moving and motivated. Probably lots of other help too!

I think she had the band.

What did they say on the program...I missed it! Or is it going to be on later?

Please tell!

I agree...I think she had the band. There is so much speculation in the tabloids about her having having bypass-type scarring and she keeps denying she had the bypass. I think she's denying because she had the band instead. The scarring can be the same and her weight loss is possible. 100 lbs in a year? Desired weight loss is 1-2 lbs./ week. For 52 weeks = 104 lbs. It can be done. I think she would've lost it alot faster if she had the bypass. Plus, she has the resources to stay on track with diet and exercise. I'd love to find out that she did get banded, but I don't blame her for not going public. Too much attention on whether she fails or succeeds long term. Imagine...the pressures we have day to day trying to lose it and keep it off...then add the media attention? Who needs that kind of pressure?

My doctor said in his lecture that she had the band. I don't know if we was speculating or really knows. I think Starr definitely did something besides dieting. She is a real diva now. I don't like her. She had a better personality when she was fat, now she is just full of herself. I, however, will be far more kind.

Okay, it's still heresay, but someone's doc knows her doc and confirmed that she had Lap-RNY.

I'm so confused... did they talk about the band on todays show? This thread is from Summer 1995.

Anne I think it's a BUMP. Old news but still compelling, LOL!

[argon 3]

lol, I was confused too. June's so far away still, I thought!

Angelu got a little carried away reading old posts!

LOL This is too funny. Why should we really care. We are the true Starrs!!!! We did it admit it and accomplish it! Lets all just keep up the good work!
