The transformation has left even Rosie herself surprised. After decades of struggling with weight, the former View co-host shared, “I’m one of those people who always had a weight issue and now that I’m a size large — instead of an XL or a XXL — I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking.”
For many adults facing similar issues, this would qualify them for weight loss consultations, often eligible under maternity insurance plans, chronic illness riders, or wellness policy add-ons through private insurers in the U.S., U.K., and Canada.
She’s also had to shop for new clothes to fit her new size, which she did recently in Dublin — a minor but symbolic step in her broader journey toward health optimization, commonly tied to post-weight loss care and even surgical consultations in certain cases.
O’Donnell’s public weight loss comes as other high-profile figures, including Meghan Trainor and Elon Musk, have spoken about using medications like Mounjaro for similar goals. But for Rosie, the journey seems deeply personal — and filled with reflection on how personalized medicine, insurance-covered treatments, and mental wellness integration can change a life.
