JENNIFER HOLLIDAY – 124 LBS: GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY

Jennifer Holliday was the ‘original dreamgirl’ and got her start when she was an actress and singer on Broadway. It was sad to hear that she once tried to kill herself because of her clinical depression. Holliday attributes her mood swings to her weight gain and decided to get a gastric bypass surgery to lose the extra pounds. As a matter of fact, she had been one of the first celebrities to improve their figure by doing this. She managed to lose around 124 lbs after the surgery. Perhaps people should start referring to her as the first brand ambassador for the procedure!

DEBORAH VOIGT – 130 LBS: COSMETIC PROCEDURE

This songbird came to the conclusion that it was time to get gastric bypass surgery when she was having problems slipping into her costume for a Royal Opera House performance in 2004. Deborah Voight was upset when she heard about how critics chose to fat-shame her instead of talking about her voice. That must have been the last straw as she got the procedure in 2005. She lost around 130 lbs afterward. She used to have a careless lifestyle and binge ate a lot, but she can now fit into an airplane bathroom again! We have to say that we are happy for her for sizing down from her original 350 lbs frame.
