Abstract

This article focuses on the weight lost by "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson since undergoing gastric bypass surgery in July 2003. Jackson, 47, is the latest high-profile patient to reap dramatic results from the last-resort gastric-bypass surgery that transformed celebrities including the "Today" show's Al Roker and singer Carnie Wilson. Striking a note of joviality on Idol--a much-needed balance between Simon Cowell's nasty and Paula Abdul's nice--Jackson liked to refer to himself as" pleasantly large," often joked about a career modeling Speedo swimsuits.
