PATTI AUSTIN – GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY

Patti Austin is a famous musician who started her weight loss journey after hearing about her asthma and Type2 diabetes diagnosis. According to her physician, her conditions were the result of her weight gain. The singer followed her doctor’s advice to undergo a gastric bypass surgery that would allow her to drop those excess fats. Following the surgery, she was able to drop 120 pounds, moving from 300 pounds to 180 pounds. Her financial advisor also did a great job guiding her money-wise.

Now 70 years old, Patti doesn’t feel like retiring from Hollywood just yet. She occasionally performs music and was recently featured on Patrick Williams’ large jazz ensemble album called Home Suite Home. She also garners awards, such as an Honorary Doctorate from the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Her latest album was released in 2016, entitled Mighty Musical Fairy Tales. Dubbed as the “Queen of the Jingles,” Patti is recognized for her KFC and Burger King’s earworms.
