Courtney LoveCourtney Love has revealed she once asked a doctor to give her a gastric band to help her lose weight.

The one-time Hole frontwoman has battled with her weight over the past few years after numerous rehab stays and finally giving up drugs.

She told Elle magazine recently: “Baby, if I could get a gastric band I would!

“I’ve heard it’s a lot of vomiting and a pain in the ass, but it’s still easier than a diet.

“I did go to see a Hollywood doctor about it. I wasn’t desperate, I just knew I had to do something. He said no. I might have been fat, but I wasn’t that fat.”

She added that then she turned to other invasive methods: “I tried lipo on my stomach after that. It was horrible and it didn’t work.”
