The most recent star to open up about her weight-loss surgery is Gabourey Sidibe who had lap-band surgery last May, according to her first memoir This Is Just My Face.
After both she and her brother were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, the
Oscar-nominated star ultimately decided to go under the knife because
she "didn't want to worry about all the effects that go along with
diabetes," she told People.

"I lost a ton of weight with [my first trainer], then I didn't; I
really, really tried—I gave a valiant try. So I'm glad that I finally
realized that the surgery wasn't the easy way out," Gabourey said. "I
wasn't cheating by getting it done. I wouldn't have been able to lose as
much as I've lost without [the surgery]. I spent years trying to lose
this much weight, and I didn't do it. I wish I'd done it sooner."
[post_ads]After suffering a near-fatal heart attack in August 2012, Rosie O'Donnell, 50 years old at the time, was told by her doctors that she needed to lose weight—stat.
So for a year, the former talk show host tried to get under 200 pounds
naturally by keeping to a healthy diet and routine exercise. But in July
2013, she had vertical gastric sleeve surgery, which "changed her
life," she told People
in 2016. "In my opinion, [this surgery is] something that needs a
little more attention for people who have suffered with morbid obesity
their whole lives," Rosie said. "This has really, really helped [me]."
The Real Housewives of New Jersey
star underwent lap band surgery at 24 years old and 185 pounds. But the
constant commentary on her weight—and her internal difficulties—didn't
stop. "A lot of people are telling me I took the easy way out, which I
didn't because I struggle every day still with the lap band," she told Celebuzz.

"People tell me that I am lazy, but I am not lazy at all—I am in the gym every morning at 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM." That being said, the daughter of Housewife Caroline Manzo told Us Weekly that after having surgery, she felt "amazing" and that "getting the lap band was the best thing I've done with my life."
The woman who can famously make a joke out of everything—even herself—revealed on The Doctor Oz Show in 2012 that, off-stage, the subject of her weight wasn't something she could laugh at. Years of emotional eating
and attempts at losing weight—even buying a house on a health spa
property in hopes it would help—led Lisa Lampanelli to opt for gastric
bypass surgery in 2012.
"For 32 years—from 18 to 50—I tried everything
on the planet, and once I had a clean slate with that I said, you know
what? Nothing's working for me. I'm going to treat this like the
addiction that it is. I'm going to get this surgery and use it as a
tool. That's all it is, a tool to help me get over it," she told Dr. Oz.
Post-procedure, Lisa quickly lost 80 pounds by eating small meals (a
result of the surgery), taking multivitamins, and keeping up with
exercise.
