THESE 50 CELEBRITIES SHED OFF INCREDIBLE AMOUNTS OF WEIGHT – FIND OUT HOW THEY DID IT AND IF THEY KEPT THE POUNDS OFF
Deborah Voigt (130 pounds) – Bypass Surgery
In 1996, Deborah Voigt was caught up with expanding her international reach as a dramatic soprano. While auditioning for a part in Richard Wagner’s three-act opera “Tristan und Isolde,” opera maestro Sir Georg Solti lauded her vocal abilities but reportedly questioned her weight.
After enduring several similar incidents, her reckoning came in 2004 after she was fired from “Ariadne Auf Naxos,” a Richard Strauss opera that was about to start its run at the London Opera House. Voight used funds received from the boot to have bypass surgery, and she slimmed down to 200 pounds.
