Lisa Lampanelli Opens Up About Weight Loss Surgery

excuses excuses… if you don't change your lifestyle even this surgery isn't going to keep you thin forever.

Lifestyle change is the key, the surgery was just a shortcut for not wanting to tdo the hard work!

100% correct

She will gain it back if she doesn't changer her eating habits and discipline herself to exercise. It does take hard work. It isn't easy. There is no miracle cure for obesity.

I lost 80 pounds in roughly 5 months with proper diet and exercise. Its a bit awkward at first but once you make the lifestyle change permanent it's no big deal. For me the hardest part was kicking my fast food addiction and even that was no big deal. I feel that the media and pharmaceutical industries serve as enablers for people to play the "victim" role and treat everything as if it were a disease when it's really just a personality flaw that can be corrected with a little work. Follow the money!

You can loose all the weight you want. You will always be a pig. You are a mean spirited disgusting slob. It has nothing to do with your weight. You are just a pig. You tried for years to loose weight? All u have to do is shut your pie hole. Don't open it up for every flying pound cake. By pass surgery is just a way to force your weak mind not to eat. Once again lisa, you will always be a pig.

U wish u had her bank account.

I agree..if you don't change your approach towards food..even with surgery..it won't last ie Connie Wilson who had two procedures.

shes still not funny.

I'm so sick of people wanting to change themselves for society. Food is NOT the enemy. Portion size maybe, but food was put on this earth for a reason. There are plenty of big people who are healthier than "in shape" ones who smoke everyday and drink alot. Some big people just can't take the weight off because it's stored fat. The surgery can help. But if it's just to "eat less" you could do that without the surgery. The surgery should be to take off the excess stored body fat that just wont come off naturally.

If I had to be her I wouldn't want her $

If I had to be her I wouldn't want her $

Love her and I'm happy to hear she did something about her weight! YOU GO GIRL!

I don't know about some of the choices of guests of Dr. Oz. There is this pathetic woman and then he has Montel Williams to talk about his hard life and staying high. The same Montel Willliams that suggested Sarah Palin slit her wrists and throat. Good going Oz!

Hate her as much as you like, but I bet she's smart enough to be able to make the distinction between "loose" and "lose".

fat or thin she still loves black cok.

I have zero respect for this hateful woman! She can be as skinny as a board, but that will never change the gigantic size of her mean spirit and spiteful heart. All of the money in the world won't change that!

Now she needs to work on her ugly sense of humor; call it mean if you wish, I see it as just plain UGLY……

Briveadus!, I agree with you. I never really paid much attention to her but when she was on apprentice and treated others like total crap, i saw her for what she is. PIG. you nailed it, she disgusts me and she is still fat by the way…

My husband and I stopped watching donald trumps show because of her…………I wouldn't have even noticed her weight……..it was her vulger language and rude and disgusting behavior that most everyone will remember. I feel very sorry for her and really sorry that Donald Trump aired such a performance…..they should both be ashamed for bringing that into American family households……….when is it going to be enough?

Eric Bruce II it's a typo you freak!!! What are you 10 years old…….

Weight loss hasn't changed her mean disposition. What is this woman's problem that her comedy has to be so vicious toward both men and women. You can't just say it's an act and in real life she's a sweetheart. Even Don Rickles has never been able to sell his insult humor completely although I've heard he's a very generous man.

wonder! if she still bangs the black guy's! . she's alway's saying. once you go black. you never go back???? just curous.lol that gastric surgey id bologne. get ct opened. to oose some pondage??? se shoul have en a plastic surgeon.

I used to be fat, then I started excercising and lost 30 pounds. looking to burn more with a little hard work.

that's the problem with america hard work is for the stupid and poor these days.
BTW she isn't funny.

Actually, after her run on Apprentice, she's just "mean"…

Just shut up. I'll bet you're the type person who would have something sarcastic to say to a person in cancer remission. And your glasses suck.

A slice off her tongue would have reduced her tonnage by 100 pounds.

What kind of diet can she use to lose the bad attitude?

I put this on Jon's facebook by accident. I'm his Dad. We have the same first name. I was responding to an article on Yahoo.

I had weight loss surgery and Lisa is correct in saying it is a tool. It is not a cure-all. Lifestyle change has to happen and with the excellent program I am there is counseling, group support, cooking and nutrition classes, regular check-ups to evaluate progress, and a fitness trainer. This is a complete program. Weight loss surgery is NOT the easy way. Food is just as much an addiction as drugs or alcohol. You have to change your habits, beliefs and patterns. Weight loss surgery changes your body – forever. I'm much happier and healthier now than I ever was before.

That said, I still wish when they removed part of her stomach her vulgarness could have been removed too! She is NOT the person I would use to promote weight loss surgery. Slimer or not, she is still a pig as many others have said.

good for her just as long as she don't lose her sense of humor Dirty %4@!*! LOL

LOVE Lisa Lampanelli!!! So happy for her…and the folks that hate her because she's the "Queen of Mean" & the Truth…we DON'T necessarily WANT to hear!!! BUT I love it cause I've developed tough skin over the years!

With weight loss surgery, one must live a life of eating healthy and exercising…or the surgery will be for naught.

How about a pic of you?

You clearly don't even know what a typographical error is, otherwise it would be clear to you that this person typed "loose" intentionally not once but *twice*…and probably struggles with "you're" and "your", "they're", "there", and "their" as well. If you're going to lower yourself to name-calling on the internet towards a person you have never met or will ever meet, perhaps you should at least have some grasp of the English language. Half the world is bordering on illiterate these days, I swear. Now shhhhh…grown-ups are talking.

I think she is great, BUT gastric bypass is not a solution, a close family member had the surgery and lost over 120lbs and put 80 lbs back in in less than 5 years, she did nothing about changing her diet or exercise habits, quick fix magic wand solutions don't work! and now another family member is going under the knife , I just shake my head, diet and exercise is the only real solution, the doctors who do this surgery should be ashamed of themselves.

Lol I'm stating facts your the one just being a jerk. I like my glasses so *shrug*

Your glasses are fine. pic of you?

she lost weight but shes still a loserr and a pig, gross.

Lol I need to post a full body shot of myself? Don't like what I say but I've known 3 people who have had that surgery and contrary to popular believe it is not an easy fix. If you go back to your old ways you will gain the weight back. Carnie Wilson is proof of that. Cancer patients don't have a choice in getting cancer so bad analogy.

I've seen her big and mean. I don't recall her ever being funny. Ever see her in Comedy Central's Roasts? The only people who laughed at her material were the ones who were high.

Completely agree with you Eric! LOL Teach them something!!

Eric, unfortunately that one seems to be pretty common.

mdhonze If it were a typo, the poster most likely wouldn't have made it twice in a row.

Excuses, Eat less burn more, Its that simple.

What are we, in typing class?

"So I always order soup, dessert and a sandwich.." A three-course lunch? No wonder she's fat! How 'bout a small salad and half sandwich and skip the dessert. But why bother when you can just have surgery to compensate for a lack of self-control.

I like that she's changing her lifestyle choices. She isn't doing this as a diet, but as a life change while learning portion control (which, I admit, I could do better at following). I hope she keeps it going, at least maintaining the 80 lb loss, because now there's a lot less pressure on her body (and therefore maybe she'll be nicer once the "fat shield" is gone and she doesn't need the protection anymore).

"Lisa Lampanelli was known a comic"? Nice english dumb ass….

A typo is when your finger accidentally hits the wrong key. When you misspell a word over and over and over, it means you are stupid.

mdhonze If he were 10 he wouldn't have the mental capacity to correct the grammar. Shut up, being educated and showing you can represent your thoughts eloquently is actually a good thing.

Why do people come on here JUST to hate. CLEARLY you all on here saying how she isn't funny, she is horrrble, blah blah blah are in the minority as this bitch has gotten rich and famous off of what she is doing. Get over your self and realize when you make a statement like that it just makes you look like a hater and an idiot.

Actually that mean spirit of hers is what GOT her all that money. She is as you know a COMEDIAN and that is her act and persona……

shes a comedian and laughing all the way to the bank ~ geesh ~ work on your self lady !

Calories in vs calories out. SIMPLE.

You folks must not have seen her on Celebrity Apprentice. That was no act. She is the most vile and mean-spirited person ever.

who cares what u think jealous much geesh!! She true New Yorker ~

I think a real part of the problem is psychologically people who get this surgery are not prepared. If you are honest with yourself and know that you arent being healthy and go into it thinking this will help me lose the weight and get into a better frame of mind to be healthy its one thing…. but yeah, people think it's just a simple fix and for most people with food addiction it really isn't that simple! I think some sort of therapy should be required as part of it… It's all about compensating too… everyone deals with stress differently and if you take away being able to eat from the equation that can lead to a whole different problem.

Jason Pigott, maybe YOU need to work on YOURSELF if you think money is the only thing of value in a person. You don't have to be mean and vicious to be successful in life. You'll find that out when you grow up a little.

Ben Wright, I'm glad you feel like money justifies her behavior, but you don't have to be a bully to be successful in this life. Cruelty offends me and her meanness is no act. In her case, it's the real thing and I certainly have a right to my own opinion about that.

If that is your image you have to stick to it whenever you are on the camera. Its called show business. IF she truly was that horrible of a person she would never get booked on things.

Yvonne Maldonado Vasquez I never said you didnt have the right to your opinion. All I did was state mine which is my right also. We just see this differently. I never said money justified her behavior, i said that is what made her the money. Those are two different things.

Whatever Ben Wright, but it sure sounds like you were defending the way she earned that money. BTW, I'm sure there are plenty who are of the same opinion you are. That's the American way, right? But I just don't want to spend another second talking about that vile woman.

You just continue to run your mouth about people and their plights. I believe you are a self absorbed person who lives to ridicule and berate others. But I'm probably wrong you're more than likely an unusual looking pudgy girl watching South Park with outdated eye glass frames you purchased because someone told you they are cool.

Why in the world is she a trending topic? I hope she lost all her nastiness too.
