Question:
Do you think Star Jones had gastric bypass?? Thoughts?

And if she did why do you think she's hiding the fact that she did??    — Julie H. (posted on July 17, 2007)

I THINK SHE DID, SHE IS AN ATTORNEY AND I THINK THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT EVERYONE TO THINK IT IS A QUICK FIX. I HEARD THAT SHE IS GOING TO ANNOUNCE HOW SHE LOST THE WEIGHT ON HER NEW SHOW (ON COURT TV) NEXT MONTH AND IN AN AUGUST MAGAZINE.

Star Jones has already said that she did have weight loss surgery. As for why she "hid" it initially...probably for the same reasons a lot of people don't say anything about it...WLS is a very personal decision and really no one's business.

I was going to comment on her today. I saw her with her new look talking about her new show on one of the news magazines shows. She looked really good. Anyways they did mention she had some kind of gastric surgery to lose weight.

Of course she did!! The only way she could get her "drumsticks" (legs) thin. I don't know why people keep it a BIG secret when it is so obvious they took a drastic step to get healthy. I am proud I did. Would do it again too!! Mickey.........

She want say because then people will not purchase her book. She had it and I don't know why shes doesn't say so. Maybe she doesn't want to be considered the poster child for WLS.

Very obviously SHE DID and why she is denying it is because she is a LOSER! In all senses. She is trying to make it look like she has absolute control over her eating, etc. She is an out of control, wannabe diva who needs a knock up side her head. Dislike her immensely

Maybe she kept it a secret because people like us seem to have nothing better to do but watch the stars get fat and thin! Look how the press constantly hounds Oprah! I would NOT want the public watching my weight all the time. Our society is way to obsessed with weight and looks and too many people seem to get satisfaction out of seeing others fail. Whether we like her or dislike her, she's a person entitled to her own privacy and can do what she wants. I wish her all the best and am happy for her new found health as I am happy for everyone on this site who has finally taken the big step toward a healthier lifestyle. Here's to ALL of us! May be live healthier, happier and longer lives because of our decision to have surgery!

I'm glad this type of question has come up. I wasnt sure that I wanted to tell anyone I am having surgery, I thought it was just because I havent been approved yet ....now i wonder if its a pride thing? Do I want people to think I have control over my eating? Do I think there is some kind of shame in this? Have I been jealous of other people?........Your question has brought me to some soul searching and I appreciate that!! As far as star jones goes I kinda thought she got some attitude with her weight loss, and I definately dont want that to happen to me........I know we change physically and mentally we have to, its a new lifestlye, but emotionally the same person. I will certainly be more aware of MY OWN self. I'm having this surgery because if i dont i will surely die. I LOVE YOU GUYS FOR THE SUPPORT YOU GIVE, THANK YOU!

She has admitted she did and said that she kept it a secret because she is a star in the limelight and did not want to create a trend or have people follow suit just cause she did it as its a serious operation and the decision is not to be made lightly... A little bit of an ego maybe but wise as well because some people may see her and say well if she can do it maybe I can to...

Maaaaaaaan she had the surgery...I was looking in the enquirer one time where they had all the stars w/their bathing suits on ya know (and btw I'm soooo glad I'm not a celebrity), and she was in a 2-piece hot pink swimsuit. Now I looked @ her stomach and saw the lap- scars. I didn't tell anyone either lol people have a way of trying to talk you outta something when its a personal thing. They can have their opinions, but ultimately its up to the person getting it.

Like the rest of Hollywood, Star's whole decision on now I want to talk about my weight loss, is just another publicity stunt. Most celebrities do it, when they've fell under the radar for a little bit of time. This is a way for everyone to focus in on her new show (ratings), so she doesn't get tossed to the side like she did on the The View. It's obvious she's had the surgery, but now she has the attention of viewers, to see when will she announce it.

I agree with someone that said that having the WLS is a very personal decision and not everyone's business. I am only telling CLOSE family and friends. After surgery I will tell others but until the surgery it is something for me and my family.

Judging Ms. Jone's very conservative nature, I would find it hard to believe that she would go through with Gastric bypass surgery, however, I think she would go for the lap-band as it's reversible and an easy in and out. I had mine and was back at work 2 days later. People say there are complications but I must say I haven't had ANY, people say you don't lose as much, but I lost approximately 60 lbs in 9 months and went from a size 18 to an 8 in that time. My friends that have had Gastric are now gaining back the weight, I'm not. I wasn't that heavy though, I was just under 200# and they wouldn't do my surgery here in the US so I went down to Mexico and couldn't have been more pleased. I have NO SCAR that is detectable and even my family doesn't know I've had the surgery. I'm hoping Star had the lap band as I've bought stock in Allergan if it was in hopes that it shoots up after the big reveal.... crossing my fingers.

Where did anyone see Star Jones looking good, I was afraid to have the surgery for fear of looking like her. The last time I saw her she looked all haggard. I frankly thought she looked better with the weight on. Poor Ms. Jones-Reynolds UGGGGG!!!
