After years of rumors and media speculation, television talker Star Jones-Reynolds finally confirmed that she lost her excessive weight due to gastric bypass surgery (see more on Gastric Bypass Surgery).
Star Jones before weight loss
In an article she wrote for Glamour magazine, she mentioned that her dramatic weight loss was due to gastric bypass surgery, and that she dodged questions about it for years because she had fear of what people might be thinking of her?
Reynolds also wrote in the essay for the September issue of Glamour magazine that she was afraid to be vulnerable and ashamed of at not being able to get herself under control without the surgical procedure.
The former "View" co-host also said that she was "intentionally evasive" when people asked how she'd dropped 160 pounds in three years?.
She said that "My out-of-control behaviour started on my 40th birthday in 2002". At this time, she had reached almost her maximum level - 307 pounds. She had gained 75 pounds in 17 months. She also said that the procedure was performed in August 2003.

She eventually shed the weight, but her feelings of insecurity did not melt away.
In 2005, Reynolds started therapy and said she gradually came to realize that "transparency is not humiliating." She began to share her story with strangers.
"I was hell-bent on keeping the specifics of my weight loss private in an effort to maintain control," wrote Reynolds. "Yet talking about my weight loss finally gave me the control I'd hungered for."
Now what do you think of Star JOnes?
Should go for medical intervention?
Keep in mind that the procedure is Risky and Costly too!
So think before going for the surgery!
