Bariatric surgery is a type of operation that helps people with obesity lose weight by making changes to their digestive system. There are different types such as gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, gastric band, and gastric balloon. The weight loss industry is booming, especially in areas like Hollywood where appearance is everything, so this procedure has become a hot topic.
Bariatric surgery aims to reduce the amount of food that a person can eat or absorb by altering the anatomy of the stomach and/or the small intestine. It can help people with obesity lose weight and improve their health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and heart disease.
However, it also has some risks and complications, such as infection, bleeding, leakage, malnutrition, ulcers, gallstones, and bowel obstruction. It’s not a quick fix or a cosmetic procedure. It requires lifelong changes in diet and lifestyle to maintain the weight loss and prevent complications.
The procedure has been gaining popularity in recent years, especially among celebrities who want achieve a slimmer and healthier appearance. However, not all celebrities are open about their weight loss journey, and some may deny or hide their bariatric surgery. This can lead to speculation and rumors on social media. Here are four celebrities who have been accused of getting bariatric surgery.

The British singer and songwriter has also stunned the world with her incredible transformation since 2019, when she announced her divorce from her husband. She reportedly lost over 100 pounds by following a strict diet called the Sirtfood diet, and working out with a personal trainer.

Jonah Hill
