star jones admits to gastric-bypass ...Hellooooo Janet..... 
Jones Reynolds Admits Gastric-Bypass Former 'View' Host Says She Had Weight Loss Surgery AP Posted: 2007-07-31 08:48:21 Filed Under: Celebrities, TV News, The View NEW YORK (July 31) - 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. "I actually like seeing the old pictures because what it says to me is, 'You never allow yourself to get there again,'" Jones Reynolds writes in an Glamour article. Just over two years separate the picture on the left, taken this spring and the photo on the right, snapped after the 2005 Oscars. "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." "But the complete truth is, I was scared of what people might think of me," she continues. "I was afraid to be vulnerable, and ashamed at not being able to get myself under control without this procedure." Keeping her decision private made her a hypocrite, she says, because she had been so outspoken about her firing from ABC's "The View" last year. Reynolds, who weighed 307 pounds at her heaviest, says her "out-of-control behavior" began around her 40th birthday in 2002. Feeling lonely, she turned to food for comfort and gained 75 pounds over the course of 17 months. She had the procedure in August 2003. "I used to look in the mirror and take pride in my figure, but that was when I was legitimately a full-figured woman," she says. "I'd gradually gone from full-figured to morbidly obese." Reynolds opted for surgery after a friend expressed concern about her weight. It was a success, she says, though she found she was "still consumed with the same anger, shame and insecurity as before." Her husband, banker Al Reynolds, encouraged her to begin psychological therapy in the summer of 2005. She learned, among other things, that she "couldn't control what others thought," she says. She began to heal by talking openly about her weight loss to strangers. Copyright 2007 The Associated Press.

everybody knew she got it done anyway. it's good that she's worked on not trying to control how other people think because thats just impossible. and its good that she can get rid of the pride a little and open up. i never really liked her but does that really matter? does she like her self after this is the point. | |

If you don't mind me asking how much did your friend weigh before the surgery? I asked my Doctor about ayear ago and he said it wasn't an option for me, but lately I've been thinking of trying a different doctor. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

When I've looked up info online all the sites I could find say I'm not even a candidate and I can't believe that. I'm FAT! I'm not saying it to be oh-woe-is-me, that's simply the reality. But I think you have to qualify as "morbidly obese" or travel out of the country to find a doctor who would do it. |

But I think you have to qualify as "morbidly obese" or travel out of the country to find a doctor who would do it.In a perfect world I would be 50 to 60 pounds lighter, but I've heard that you have to be like 100 pounds or more over weight to qualify. Sometimes I think it would be easier to just gain the 40 extra pounds so I could get the damn surgery then to struggle to lose the same weight over and over again and then gain it back. I'm at my heaviest now, and I really hate it, but no matter what I do I can't seem to lose more than 30 pounds and then I come right back to were I am now. 
I know I'd have to make some major life changes in order to be who I want to be, I wish I wasn't so damn lazy and I could push myself to do it. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |
