Did Nicole Richie have gastric bypass surgery?

For your perusal, the following "blind item," appeared in the N.Y. Post's Page Six column:

Which young Hollywood starlet had secret gastric bypass surgery, but then lost too much weight? During a recent four-day stint at a health clinic, she was actually having an operation to remove the bypass.

As Celebrity Warship comments:

In other news, Nicole Richie has been looking fabulous since returning from her four-day stint at a health clinic.

If this is true, it all makes sense now. Richie's ex, Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein lost about half a person with gastric bypass surgery ... and one thing often leads to another, especially in Hollywood.
