Jesse Jackson Jr.
After Jesse Jackson Jr. had gastric bypass surgery, he was said to have developed a bipolar disorder. He eventually clarified that this rumor had no truth. Experts said that he only had minor problems with his 2014 operation. Jackson weighed approximately 260 lbs and said that after he went under the knife, he lost about 50 lbs. He went with the duodenal switch procedure, which means surgeons remove part of the stomach and rearrange the intestine afterward. His personal spokesperson disclosed that afterward, the politician also decided to improve his dietary plans.

Jennifer Holliday
When Jennifer Holliday was an actress and singer on Broadway, she was the ‘original dream girl.’ It was sad to hear she attempted suicide due to her clinical depression. Holliday attributed her mood swings to her weight gain and decided to get surgery to lose the extra pounds by gastric bypass. By doing this, she was one of the first celebrities to shed pounds. After the surgery, she lost around 124 lbs. Maybe people should start referring to her for the procedure as the first brand ambassador!
