After an amazing transformation in which she lost more than 150 pounds Star Jones Reynolds has finally revealed how she dropped the weight. Gastric bypass surgery.
Having ducked questions surrounding her dramatic physical change Jones finally revealed in Glamour magazine that she underwent the procedure in 2003 after tipping the scales at over 300 pounds.
The former “The View” co-host said she remained silent mainly because “Everything about me was already so public (mostly my own doing — talk about dumb!), so of course everyone wanted to know what I had done. I was also terrified someone would have a tragic result after emulating me without making an informed decision with her doctor.”
Star also said she was “afraid to be vulnerable, and ashamed at not being able to get myself under control without this procedure.”
She finally opted for the surgery after a friend expressed concern about her growing weight problem.
