I'm sure y'all are just as surprised as I am by this news... Star Jones lost all that weight through gastric bypass. Who would have thought? I'm not sure what finally made her admit this - it's not like no one guessed. Maybe she ran out of dough/freebies from her lavish wedding and decided owning up would rake in the bucks.
Jones said she grew up in a household where good food was plentiful and exercise was not emphasized. A lot of her friends were the same size, and she considered herself "fly" and "curvaceous."
Jones said as her TV career began to take hold, she surrounded herself with "yes-people" and spent her time shopping and eating - inevitably leading to weight gain and health problems.
A friend intervened and asked Jones, "So, what are we going to do about your weight?" Jones eventually went to a doctor's office (i.e. a bariatric surgeon), and the rest, as they say, is history.
