That’s when the group Wilson Phillips was born and Carnie Wilson became a pop sensation.
Carnie has had a successful musical and television career despite Wilson Phillips breaking up after just two albums.
She’s also had a happy marriage to fellow musician Rob Bonfilglio.
Through her decades of fame, one thing has haunted Wilson from the start: her weight.
The first one was in 1999 and very well publicized.
Well I didn’t know this, but I was stepping on a scale.
And I looked up and in red, big numbers, 233 pounds showed up on this thing.
I said, ‘Wait a minute?’
and I looked down and all I could think was ‘Howard, ready to shame me?’
They purposely did it."
She went on to tell People how humiliating the entire experience was.
“It’s like a joke to him, but it wasn’t to me,” she revealed.
“It was one of the worst experiences I ever had.
I was so devastated and so embarrassed.”
After gaining weight back, she chose to have a second surgery in 2012.
That time she had lap band surgery, according toHuffington Post.
Lap band surgery involves placing a belt that adjusts near the top of the stomach, (viaMedicinenet.com).
“It was the right decision for me and I’m doing really well so far.
It’s all about taking good care of myself,” Wilson said.
She also admitted that having children contributed to her weight struggles.
