Sharon Osbourne removing a gastric band that helped her shed 126 pounds.
Sharon - the wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne - wants to have the band, which is designed to limit a person s food intake by reducing the stomach s capacity, taken out in December.
Instead, the 54-year-old star is to turn to psychotherapy to find the underlying reasons for her weight issues.
She said: I have to figure out why I do what I do to myself. I think I have some sort of self-destruction button.
Sharon admits she has a history of overeating and, despite having had the band since 1999, has gained a stone in the last year.
She said: I keep trying to eat more and more, I m a pig. If you eat too much, you throw up, then you eat more.
Sharon - who is a judge on hit British TV talent show X Factor - has thanked her three children for supporting her through her weight problems.
She said: My kids, their whole life, have seen me struggle with weight. They say, Now you need to spend time on your head.
