Courtney Love wanted to have a gastric band fitted, but was refused by
doctors.

The former Hole singer – who recently lost a dramatic amount of weight,
prompting surgery rumors - admits she was keen to undergo the procedure
after becoming depressed about her ballooning weight.

She said: “Baby, if I could get a gastric band I would! I’ve heard it’s a
lot of vomiting and a pain in the a*s, 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.”

Desperate Courtney then turned to an alternative weight-loss procedure to
shed her excess pounds.

She added: “I tried liposuction on my stomach after that. It was horrible
and it didn’t work.”

Courtney, 44, also admits taking drugs while pregnant with her daughter
Frances Bean, now 16.

However, the singer insists she and late husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt
Cobain – who killed himself in 1994 – were always good parents to their
daughter.

She added to Elle magazine: “My daughter knows I did drugs in my first
trimester of pregnancy. She weighed 7lb 6oz when she was born and she was
healthy.

“We were excellent parents and I say that despite pretty much always having
an edge on. Frances bonded very well with her father, at least in the first
year and a half of her life.”
