I can not confirm or deny that runor about Roseanne BUT you sre the second person I heard it from. And by the way she behaves and eats on her show I am not surprised if it is true. I hope this teaches her a lesson, because I find her behavior to be disgusting and very detrimental to our serious eforts to have this surgery.

I have no knowledge about disrupting the staple and I never watch her show - because I can't stand her. However, a couple of my friends do watch the show daily and they said just what you did, that she is eating constantly and now they are very fearful of me having the surgery and just eating the weight back on as soon as the surgery is over. She not a very good role model for weight loss surgery - or many other venues, as well.

I recently saw Rosanne Barr doing her new gig as a rock singer. What a joke. I guess if you have money you can do whatever you want... She was dresses like a rock punk singer and thought she was quite sexy... I thought she looked horrible and yes she was regaining her weight...Apparently she forgot that WLS is a tool not a permanet fix for obesity. She had the surgery in the last few years and apparently does care... Please do not let her inability to adhere to the guidelines diswade toy from having the WLS if that is your decision. She is not a good role mondel... You have hundreds of wonderful role model here on this site. People can have problems with the WLS a gain, but the majority are wonderful success stories.
