Star Jones – 160 lbs – Gastric Bypass Surgery
Star Jones is a journalist, TV personality, and an advocate for women’s rights. She co-hosted The View, which is a morning talk show on ABC that focuses on sociopolitical and other topics close to women in our society. Star Jones was also 5th in The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011. She kept her weight battle public, as Jones was 307 pounds in 2003. She underwent a gastric bypass surgery that same year and in the next three years, she lost 160 lbs. Jones lost the trust of her viewers and faced much criticism for choosing this method, but stated on several occasions that she just couldn’t do it any other way.
