Carnie Wilson

The 52-year-old Carnie Wilson is best known as a member of the pop music group Wilson Phillips. She is also known as the daughter of the legendary Beach Boys’ frontman, Brian Wilson. What most people don’t know about her, though, is that the singer-actress has had a lifelong battle fighting obesity.

In 1999, Wilson weighed more than 300 pounds before her gastric bypass surgery, which prompted a 150-pound reduction. From a size 28, she is now a size 6. Be that as it may, in 2012, the musician went back under the knife for a Lap-Band Surgery after gaining back some weight. So far, she has shed 30 pounds. According to sources, Wilson was one of the first Hollywood personalities that have gone through gastric bypass surgery. This was to lose some post-pregnancy pounds she gained after the birth of her two daughters. As it turns out, her decision was influenced by her willingness to take good care of herself. We can definitely all agree that self-care is indeed an essential investment.
