Public Profile

Carnie Wilson
Carnie Wilson
    Carnie Wilson is a popular American singer and television host. She is well known as a founding member of the early-90s singing group Wilson Phillips. Noted by the media as being one of the few overweight female pop stars of her time, she was later famed for having lost half of her weight after undergoing a public-broadcast gastric bypass procedure. Since that time, Mrs. Wilson has become a leading national figure in advocating for patient access to bariatric surgery, particularly for those who cannot independently afford this non-covered weight loss option. She is also co-founder of the Lite and Hope resource site, which helps interested patients and family members find qualified surgeons to perform gastric bypass surgery.
