William Moody
As a professional wrestler and manager, William Moody (also known by his ring aliases of Percival ‘Percy’ Pringle III and Paul Bearer) made a reputation for himself in the wrestling industry. He was allowed to speak about his roughly 200-pound weight loss for the first time after undergoing a gastric bypass treatment following the procedure. At the time of the 2003 interview, he expressed his delight at being able to see body parts that he had not seen in a long time over the course of the chat. In exchange for renewing his WWE contract, he was offered gastric sleeve surgery as part of the package deal, which he gladly accepted. His weight had dropped significantly over the course of 20 years, and he was once again able to weigh less than 300 pounds.

Etta James
Following gastric sleeve surgery in 2001, Etta James shed around 200 pounds, according to the information on her official website. The legendary singer was in her final years when she began to gain weight to the point that she needed to be moved around the stage during her concerts. Her weight had risen to 400 pounds, and she recognized she needed to do something about it if she wanted to save her professional career. She had chatted with Roseanne Barr and had come to the conclusion that she would undergo surgery under anesthesia. According to her later statements, while the operation proved to be effective in assisting her in losing weight, it also presented difficulties in keeping a nutritious diet after the procedure.
