Comedian-turned-playwright Lisa Lampanelli is out with a new off-Broadway play that explores the plights women face when it comes to body image. It’s something that hits close to home for Lampanelli, who explained to The Huffington Post earlier this week how she’s learned to embrace herself later in life. It’s only now that Lampanelli, 55, said she’s gained more confidence, a few years after undergoing weight loss surgery in 2012. If I had been able to have had that confidence, I wouldn’t have had to have the weight loss surgery,” Lampanelli said. “I wouldn’t just be getting confidence at age 55.”It’s an ongoing process of self-discovery for Lampanelli, who said she’s looking at the surgery in a different light now.
