Rosie O’Donnell: Gastric Bypass Surgery
It’s not like actress and TV personality Rosie O’Donnell didn’t try to lose all that extra weight before. She had tried a plethora of diets and even the “Bill Clinton Diet” she found on Google, but nothing worked. Finally, it was her 2012 heart attack that forced her to become more serious about losing weight.
Rosie settled on getting a gastric bypass surgery in 2013 after studying all its side effects. She went on to lose more than 60 pounds, going from 240 pounds all the way down to 176 pounds. But her self-confidence rose much later, after her departure from The View and after divorcing her wife.
