COURTNEY Love's drastic weight loss down to a gastric band?

COURTNEY Love's drastic weight loss is down to a gastric band, Showbiz Spy reports.

According to Britain's News of The World newspaper, Love had the band fitted two years ago..

A source says, "Courtney keeps laughing to her friends and saying, ‘Everyone thinks I've had hypnosis but why bother with all that effort? All I did was check myself in and have a fat band fitted'.

"Courtney has always had problems with her appearance and is convinced she is ugly and fat. Two years ago she had a gastric band fitted at a surgery in Beverly Hills.

"Lots of doctors refused to do it as she was nowhere near obese, just a little overweight, but eventually she found one.

"And as soon as she had the operation the excess weight started to drop off her. Now she is just skin and bones and looks terrible."
