In the case of Star Jones, I think she should have come right out and talked about the surgery and the effects. Celebrities like Star Jones can do alot of harm by not talking about the surgery. We are not all as fortunate to have the personal trainers and money to spend on any nip/tucks that are needed.
My best friend had gastric bypass and while they lost over 100 lbs and have kept it off for going on 3.5 years, they have been left with a lot of excess skin and an abdominal hernia.
Alot of folks will look to Star Jones as the "typical" outcome of the surgery not knowing what other things she had done to look the way she does. So in her case I think she would have been doing a public service by talking about the surgery and not trying to hide it.
However, having first hand experience with my friend having the surgery, it is difficult to explain to people why you had to go through the surgery. So trying to put this question into a right or wrong category will be difficult to say the least.
