Carnie Wilson's Big Comeback

76. Look at Carnie people! Gastric bypass surger does not make you thin. You must exercise willpower. Carnie needs to see a counserlor/therapist/nutritionist and a psychiatrist.

78. Gastric Bypass is not a fix all, you still have to address the underlying reasons of WHY you are eating to comfort yourself. The cut*in*half stomach can still stretch out if you don't follow post surgery instructions. I have known several coworkers who had it done, and didn't change or address their eating habits. They were eating McDonalds 2 months after the surgery and promptly started putting the weight back on. It should be mandatory before you have the surgery, that you see a therapist and address the root cause of *comfort eating* . Otherwise, it's a waste of money and time..

79. Usually I don't mind slamming a celeb now and then, but I won't slam Carnie. She has always seemed to be a really nice woman who just wanted to make others happy. When she was at her heaviest, I was struck by how incredibly beautiful her face was, even with so much weight. Many women gained a little weight and their faces suffer, but Carnie had the most amazing beauty.

She also seemed to try very hard to lose weight, both by dieting and eventually surgery. The problem with the surgery is the pouch can be stretched enough to eventually hold nearly the same amount as before surgery.

I truly wish Carnie the best. She is one of the 'good' ones out there, someone you feel might be your friend, you know? Not like so much of the celebtrash out there who are so self-involved and selfish, you wonder how they can stand to be in the same room with a mirror, because even their own reflection takes away much needed attention.

81. No, the bypass isn't permanent- 50% of those who get the surgery come right back for a second operation because they ate through the first one. A husband of a friend of mine was in the hospital recently getting a non-weight loss abdominal surgery. Out of fifty patients prepped for surgery, he was only one of two patients NOT getting this surgery- again. Btw- Carnie Wilson and Roseanne have both already had THREE of these surgeries- and I wouldn't put it past Kirstie Alley or Queen Latifah to have done the same thing. Anyone see Carnie Wilson a few years ago on David Letterman's show after her SECOND surgery? She had dyed her hair blonde and wore a very tight black slip dress- and she was way too fat- but was still talking about her wieght loss! Neither Letterman nor the audience knew what to think of her...

82. Look up recent photos of her, and this doesn't look right. I think she's thinner than that photo now.
This one is from 2007 as well.

84. For people who are judging her, you should check yourselves! Read up on gastric bypass! It's NOT a "quick fix"! It's VERY hard!
They operate on your your stomach not your head! People who are making rude comments are SO ignorant! Do your research before you jump to judge! SHE'S HUMAN! YOU try having gastric bypass when everything has failed, and then be in the public eye, everyone watching to see if you'll fail. Then YOU have a baby & try to lose the weight so quickly when you've had a history of weight struggles! Back off her! When you all are perfect THEN you can judge others!

85. To whoover commented on her apperance on Supernanny: that was filmed back in November so that would explain why she looked thinner than she does now.

86. How is it possible? An expert needs to explain because your stomach has been reduced to the size of an egg. The new, smaller tummy cannot physically hold food any larger and a couple of ounces. How on earth did she gain weight!

87. Wow, she really put on a lot of weight. Poor thing.

88. This photo shows that gastric bypass surgery is not a quick fix to weight loss. In the beginning patients lose weight and keep it off for a short period of time. After that the body adjusts to the surgery and the stomach stretches, the bypass that has
been shortened adjusts to absorb more calories and patients gain some of their weight back. It can be a real struggle
for many bypass patients to keep the weight off. Considering she started at over 500 lbs., I would give Carnie the credit she deserves for keeping most of the weight off and continuing to work on keeping it off.

89. This is Carnie. I have read all your comments, and I want to thank you for your support. ALL the comments I read make me want to succeed more. It makes me grateful for what I have been through, who I am, the weight I desire being at and mostly for the reality of the situation. I am doing great, losing weight and feeling strong. I'm a working Mom and a great wife. I just have one comment to the people that wrote silly , cruel things: You try taking your hardest struggle in your life and have the entire world comment on it... watch you closely and make assumptions about things they know nothing about. It's part of what I do, I know that.... but it can be frustrating. Not heartbreaking , though. It makes me want to be a better, healthier person. I know who I am, what I believe in and I consider myself to be very blessed. That's the best part of all.... you can write anything you want and it won't change who I am. I love that. I wonder what you all look like. To the people who said kind, encouraging words.... I know you weren't kissing my ass. You give me true encouragement that warms my heart. Thank you. I'd do the same for you if I knew you.
Take care.

90. For God's sake--she valiently kept the weight off for TEN YEARS--even after having a baby. So she's backsliding--evidently she's fighting it as hard as she can and even though she's heavier, she's not even close to her pre-op 300 lbs. Lay off, peole--I bet each of you could use some improvement in the looks department and not all of you had a mentally ill genius father that heavily influenced u.
