Vanessa Feltz: Gallbladder Removal Changed My Personality

Television and radio presenter Vanessa Feltz has shared a surprising consequence of her gallbladder removal: it "affected my whole personality." Feltz, 64, mentioned this on Katherine Ryan's podcast, noting that the absence of her gallbladder has had a profound impact.

Feltz has previously undergone weight loss procedures, including a gastric band and bypass, and attributed significant weight loss in 2008 to rigorous diet and exercise. She speculated that rapid weight loss might affect gallbladders, referencing recent discussions about similar issues linked to new weight loss injections.

Beyond her health, Feltz spoke candidly about the challenges of being single following her separation from fiancé Ben Ofoedu. She described her reluctance to be alone, finding her home empty and her own thoughts overwhelming, which she admitted influenced her decision to stay in past difficult relationships.

Additionally, Feltz conveyed her increased stress regarding the Jewish experience in the UK. She highlighted the disheartening rise in antisemitic incidents, expressing a deep sense of belonging to Britain while feeling the pain of potential prejudice based on her Jewish identity.
