Did TRIMSPA Hold Weight For Anna Nicole?

Anna Nicole Smith in front of Trim Spa billboardTRIMSPA, the company pimped by Anna Nicole Smith and credited for her spectacular weight loss, is claiming that their former spokesmodel used human growth hormone only for its anti-aging properties, even though it was described by Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Perper as a "longevity/weight reducing medication."

In a statement to TMZ, TRIMPSA claims they spoke with Howard K. Stern yesterday, who told them, "Smith took human growth hormone since 1999 or 2000," but added that the hormone was used for its anti-aging properties -- not its slimming effects -- which are said to influence the metabolism of proteins, carbs and lipids.

In addition to Anna's fondness for HGH, she also indulged in another weight loss product -- Slim-Fast. The Broward County Medical Examiner stated that they found the diet drink on her nightstand in the Hard Rock Hotel room where she died, and TMZ memorably obtained exclusive photos of several cans of Slim-Fast and a family-sized bottle of methadone in Anna's Bahamian mini-fridge.

76. AND THE ONLY REASON I TRIED TRIM SPA IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS BECAUSE ANNA LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT. IT WORKED FOR ME.

77. Well, she was 5'11 with her hair and weaves!!! Yes, she was slightly over 5'9 and still overweight but she did recently have a baby. She shouldn't have been crash dieting. Eating healthy and exercising works for me.

78. ANS's death certificate clearly states she was 71" in length, that is 5'9" folks.

She was not 5'11" as many here are saying. 5'9" and 178lbs, read it and weep.

LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO YOU IDIOT! 5 x 12= 60 inches 71-60=11 inches so she was 5 ft 11 inches tall.

79. # 8 -- I agree with you about what Howard said. It seem to me that Howard conducted this that autopy. There was no common sense used in that decision. Did Dr Perper make any decision on his own. Those were all HKS words. This is outrageous. Who needs the kind of love that HKS has shown. He is so in love that he would leave his love one in bed ill and weak and he didn't even check on ANS before he left OUTRAGEOUS!!! The autopy should exactly what I had expected. How could ANS have an power to control anyone as high as she always was every day.. I saw here every day after Daniel died on Entertainment Tonight. She was alway high has a kite with slurred speech. How could a Dr watch this every day? This decision is a bunch of crap that will not stand. God will remove all of the darkness so that the light of truth will come forth.

80. I lost wieght like crazy on the Anti-Aging hormones. I took them for 2 and a half years. All the movie stars take them,but they are so expensive! I stopped 6 months ago and i've gained 25 lbs. I'm going back on them. They do make you feel great. Your skin is so pretty as well. It's more a West coast thing.

81. On the autopsy report it states that she has "circular scars" above and beow her belly button surrounded by piercings. This is a surgery it sounds like a tummy tuck but usually you would have a larger pelvic incision usually bigger than a c-section scar. circular could also be trocars for gastric bypass or lap band or it could be from lipo I work in surgery and could tell you what she had done if I could see the scars but description is vague also scars on her thighs are lipo I am sure, this was a celebrity autopsy if I have ever seen one anyone else all plastic surgeries would be listed but only mentions her breast trust me she had surgery to lose the weight I hope the those who are suing Trick-spa find this out. For all of those who got taken by trimspa.

82. I hope Alex sues the hell out of Anna's estate and gets back all the money he paid her for being the spokes person. I liked the fat Anna better anwyay, she was more fun when fat. I loved her munching on ho-ho's and drinking chocolate milk on her reality TV show. And, where is toothless cousin Shelley?

83. Right Kelly, circle around my belly button for my tummy tuck. Best surgery i ever had and my by pass was done lapriscopticly.

84. When your sick you sure can't take Trimspa or anything else like that or it will make you even sicker. She probably used Trimspa, HGH, slimfast and whatever she could that she thought would keep the weight off.

85. He also said by accident, or perhaps a freudian slip "Anna wasn't using trimspa" =p

86. Just watched Goen on Greta. What a bunch of double talk and crap. #1: Was Anna's Dr. keeping Slim Fast in Anna'a fridge too. Oh that's right it wasn't Anna's fridge. It just happened to have Methadone (that was found in her system) and Slim Fast. Give me a Break #2: I am dissapointed Greta did not ask about the Growth Hormone. Oh that's right she was taking it for anti aging. That doesn't change the fact that it also helps with weight loss even if that were true. #3: Goen said the way Anna was acting in the video was the way she often acted (like a child) and was acting and that was the way she was in the movie. WRONG !!!!!! They often say the eyes are the window to the soul. Look at her eys in the video/s they are half shut. They are not that way in the clips of the movie I have seen. She is also confused and slurring her speech and is not that way in the clips from the movie I have seen. He mentioned the anti biotics she was on but completely left out the pain killers and growth hormone. Hmmmm. Why would an ex-addict who was depressed, who had recently been suicidal be allowed to be on any of those drugs? Goen talked about the drugs like it was ok and normal but she is DEAD. Perper said if she were taken to a hospital she would still be alive but then again if she was taken to a hospital they would have found out she was on drugs and then negative publicity would have followed and that wouldn't be good for a Trim Spa spokesperson would it?

87. Dr. Perper was just on Greta and corrected what Mr. Goen had said................... Anna was taking weight reducing medications.. Topromax. ...She was taking Vit B12 shots, Growth Hormone and immuglobin shot for weight and youthful appearance......And also corrected Mr. Geon by saying that chloral Hydrate was at a TOXIC level..... He said it with much authority. Good for Him no SPIN ...... The other Patholigist said there was Methadone in her bile and so she had taken METHADONE with in the last three to five days..........NO SPIN THERE........... Mr. Geon said he thought the Clown video was acting. When he was interviewed before he said Ann never took drugs...... Today he said she was only taking sedatives...........Soounds like a FLIP FLOP

88. Alex Goen does not have a problem with the medication that Anna was taking. I am watching him now saying that the Nicorette gum was Howard's and the Slim Fast was Dr. Kris's. This is on Showbiz Tonight.

89. I have to much to say. To start off, SCUM OF THE EARTH STERN, is something that I have a hard time with. He reminds me of my mothers relationships. Fact is she had money and she started drinking heavily after she lost her husband. Then here comes the rags that bitched everytime she drank which they did also, but enabled her to drink while the time she was passed out took total advantage of her and actually took everything she had. The guys did'nt care of us kids and what they were taking from us. Well they left her high and dry. She now is stuggeling with health problems and broke broke. Now I as a daughter have to pick up the pieces and make sure she is takin' care of. Stern did just that and got rid of Daniel . We are lucky we did'nt end up 6 ft. under and also my mother. These sleaze bags that take advantage of these gullable women can go to hell and believe me they will. Stern the worm can bite dust because he is a guilty son of a gun. Take my word I know Ican see right throgh that piece of crap. I know his kind from experience. God Bless Daniel for all he had to witness and always knew some thing bad would come from that "so called relationship" with the weazelSTERN!!!!. Icould go on but.

90. Mr. Geon of Trimspa was just on Greta. He said the Slimfast was being taken by Dr.E. and not Anna. You know I have tried that product and it didn't do a thing. I think its really doesn't work.. I don't think Annas weight loss was from Trimspa? . I guess she was taking drugs to loose weight too.
