Vanessa Feltz opens up about her relationship with food after having a gastric bypass
She’s lived most of her life in the public eye, so we’ve been there every step of the way throughout Vanessa Feltz’s weight battle.
And there’s no denying Vanessa, 57, looks incredible at the moment. Fitness and nutrition expert Laurel Alper tells Woman’s Own that the blonde has slimmed down to a size 12.
Laurel says, ‘In my opinion Vanessa has dropped from a size 16 to a comfortable size 12, the result of her losing around 4st.’
But Vanessa’s journey to her current weight hasn’t been easy, after her infamous gastric band slipped and ended up in her liver – meaning she had a difficult decision to make.
WEIGHT WORRIES
Vanessa initially had her gastric band fitted in 2010 and, despite health fears, insisted she wouldn’t have it removed because of her fear of gaining weight.
At the time she explained, ‘It has started acting up something chronic. I was fast asleep and woke up and felt like I was drowning. My whole mouth, my nose, ears and eyes seemed to be full of liquid.’
At the time she added, ‘I don’t want to have it taken out. I am worried that I will suddenly eat an entire camel and a heard of elephants.’
