Bye Bye Star power.
Although I do not watch the show, I am so glad Star Jones (Reynolds) is gone from the view. She was just too hard to look at after she lost 100 pounds in, like, 4 months or something.

My mom watches it religiously, my dad tapes it for her every day, and her nightly ritual when I lived with them was to come home, hop in her recliner, and watch the View. So I've seen it several times through default.

It's funny, Allison said she now just looks like she 'creeps,' and I agree. And the fact that she won't tell 'the world' that she had that horrible close-your-stomach-up-so-it's-3-cubic-centimeters surgery, which further discusses us larger people, because people that have never had to lose weight in their life see that she (and others, unfortunately) do it so quickly, and seemingly easy, but don't know that they have had a dangerous, life altering surgery, that most 'normal' Americans couldn't even afford if they wanted to.

That's all. :-)

Yeah, she looks sickly and creepy.

Nowadays, Gastric Bypass surgery is like getting lasik or breast implants...everyone is doing it. I know at least 6 people who had it done. And they look strange. They still have their big heads, but a tiny body. The last woman who got it told me, "don't ever do it, it's not worth it".

Our hospital came up with this: Insurance will ONLY cover Gastric Bypass for employees in the event of an emergency. Otherwise, you have to enroll in the Be Healthy THR program (it's a program that helps you lose weight, stay fit) for at least one year prior to getting the surgery.

Yes, I've heard from us poor folk that it is not worth it. It makes the individual just feel sick all the time.

At any rate, I think your hospital has a GREAT idea going...

Star Jones has been acting weird and creepy since about the time of her "non-surgical" too-rapid-to-just-not-be-eating weight loss.

i remember the 3-day blog drama she had (for anyone who doesn't know)... after she already lost lotsa fans (if she had any) by acting weird and SHOULD have known how so many people hated her and made fun of her. why put up a blog and invite people to talk???

and the fact that SHE, someone who had never been known as a sexy star, puts out a self-help sex book and expects people to not only buy the book and take her as a sex star/advice person, but to not be disgusted by her talking about her love life???????? EW.
