Celebrities Who’ve Had Weight-Loss Surgery
Patti Austin
Patti Austin is one of the few celebrities that is open and willing to talk about her choice to undergo gastric bypass surgery. She’s long stated that she was in denial of her poor health, despite the fact that both of her parents died from a stroke and diabetes. Before surgery, she suffered with asthma and type 2 diabetes. In 2005 she and her doctor decided that surgery was the best, and within the first year, she went from 300lbs to 180lbs.
