Magical Transformation of Rosie O'Donnell

The legendary TV personality had always been under the scrutiny of her weight. When she had a near-fatal heart attack in 2013, doctors suggested her to undergo surgery.

O'Donnell lost a stunning 64lbs from a vertical gastric sleeve surgery.

We are sure she had plenty of money in her savings account to pay for the surgery that saved her life.

The secret behind John Goodman's transformation

Known for his role as Dan Conner in Roseanne, John Goodman had his fair share of struggle with obesity. He rumoured to have an eating disorder which kept his weight going up until he decided to lose 100lbs. He chose a “Mediterranean-style eating plan”, quit drinking and work out 4-6 times a week to reach his target. There is also an unconfirmed report of an excess skin removal surgery.

It sounds like he doesn't have to take a loan to lose his weight.

Randy Jackson wanted to live

Grammy Award-winning producer Randy Jackson always struggled with an eating disorder. He reached 350 pounds in 2001. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2003. Randy underwent gastric bypass surgery, started eating right and worked out regularly to lose over 100lbs.

We don't think his financial advisor was thrilled about his decision to spend money on surgery, but we are happy he did. At least we have a healthy and fit Randy with us.

Josie Gibson hated herself


The Big Brother winner underwent a huge transformation from a size 20 to size eight after seeing unflattering images of herself.

What is her secret? Tummy tuck surgery, eating right diet and rigorous exercise. Josie is a huge fan of yoga and HIIT workouts which helps her to maintain her figure.

We hope she has some money left from her Big brother paycheck. We don't think her health insurance cover the cost of her surgery.
