Star Jones Reynolds admits that her dramatic weight-loss was due to gastric-bypass surgery in the September 2007 issue of Glamour Magazine. The forty-five year old former co-hostess of ‘The View’ claims that she dodged questions about how she lost over 160 pounds for years because she was ‘’scared of what people might think of me.”

”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.”
