Singer Carnie Wilson Hospitalized After Lap-Band Surgery Complications

Carnie Wilson, the 57-year-old singer from Wilson Phillips, was recently hospitalized due to complications following the removal of her lap-band, a weight loss device she initially had implanted in 2012. Although the surgery itself was successful, Wilson experienced severe leg swelling and dangerously high blood pressure, necessitating a second hospital admission where her medication was adjusted. During the surgery, doctors discovered an ulcer and a food obstruction caused by the lap-band, conditions Wilson attributed partly to the stress she has faced this year, including the death of her father, Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson. Despite the frightening health scare, Wilson expressed gratitude for her medical team and supporters, emphasizing that she is now recovering and gaining new perspective on her health. She remains optimistic and appreciative of the prayers and well-wishes she received from fans. Wilson's candid updates have inspired many by showing resilience amid ongoing health challenges.
