Carnie Wilson’s Surgery ‘Shocked’ Wilson Phillips Bandmates


It wasn't just the world that Carnie Wilson kept in the dark about her January weight loss surgery — she didn't even tell her Wilson Phillips bandmates, Chynna Phillips and sister Wendy Wilson, until just before the procedure, her second in a matter of 13 years. And the aftermath of that bombshell was evident in the April 8 premiere episode of their TV guide reality show, "Wilson Phillips: Hold On." Although the surgery created a snag in Wilson Phillips' busy schedule, at the end of the day the childhood friends rallied around Carnie, 43, and her decision to get her weight back on track, since regaining much of the 150 pounds she lost from her 1999 procedure. "They have seen me go up and down with emotions about this, up and down in weight, and they've always been supportive. The pop trio had to cancel a tour date because Carnie was still recovering from the lap band surgery — and it was clearly frustrating to her fellow band members, especially Chynna. "Carnie actually waited a really long time before she broke the news to us that she was going to be getting the surgery," she tells omg!. "It took me by surprise, it was a little bit of a shock. Listen, I had to do 'Dancing With the Stars,' that kind of came out of nowhere, and they understood. I should have had a little more patience with Carnie." Carnie had this to say.. "I think we all just want to be healthy. It's not just being overweight that's dangerous. Stress is dangerous. We all want to take care of ourselves, and we all don't want to get too stressed out. You know, we influence each other. I'm influenced. You know, Chynna does yoga between takes of whatever, Wendy's taking walks every day. So it's good, it rubs off on me." Still, there is one habit Carnie says she is not going to pick up while on tour. Health-conscious Chynna's favorite: fermented vegetables. "[They] are literally … gag!"
