Star Jones: I Had Gastric - Bypass Surgery

Star Jones Reynolds says in a new interview that her dramatic weight-loss was due to gastric-bypass surgery, and that she dodged questions about it for years because she was ‘’scared of what people might think of me.”

Reynolds, 45, says she was ”intentionally evasive” when people asked how she’d dropped 160 pounds in three years. The former ”View” co-host opens up about her weight loss and self-esteem issues in a story featured in the September issue of Glamour magazine, on newsstands Aug. 7.

”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,” she writes. ”I was also terrified someone would have a tragic result after emulating me without making an informed decision with her doctor.
