Lawyer and television personality Star Jones is recovering with her family after undergoing planned cardiac surgery. The March 17th procedure was a follow-up to the thoracic surgery she underwent some 30 years ago.
Jones, who turns 48 on Wednesday, reported on her Twitter page that the surgery went well. She ‘tweeted‘, “Thank you for all the good wishes and prayers…I feel them all. By the way…who knew ice chips could taste like steak! hahahahahaha.”
She also weighed in on President Obama’s health care bill. She said, “Can u imagine me trying to recover WITHOUT health care. Those who voted against it need to hang their heads in shame.”
The former co-host on The View lost 160 lbs. following gastric bypass surgery in 2003. She caused a major rift with the other ladies of The View because she refused to acknowledge that fact, and led viewers to believe that she had lost the weight with diet and exercise alone.
Star has been romantically linked to New York chef Herb Wilson – see photos here.
