Why don't ppl mind their business? I haven't even went on my first appt.. but i am serious and I am determined to make this happen... I was commenting to someone about it and another person tells me with exercise and a good diet anyone can lose weight.. If it were that easy wouldn't we all be skinny??? I have tried everything and I lose little to no weight or I yo-yo.. it's not like you get surgery and that's it you lose weight.. you do need a proper diet and you need to exercise.

I didn't feel the need to explain myself so I told that person to mind their business :-)

LOL you told them right there are so many people who make comments without thinking and are so judgemental this is one reason people do not like going to the gym as well. Congrats on your choice to being healthy , I can tell you that I am 3 months post opt and this was the best decision that I ever made. Good luck and keep us posted.

Welcome to your first lesson in keeping your mouth closed about your choice to have surgery. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. The comments, attitudes, and snears will come and that's the primary reason I'm not saying a damn thing to anybody.

I really could care less what people think and I'll have plenty to focus on after surgery besides other people's thoughts about my choice. It's insulting and rude to say the least, but for some reason people seem to come out of the woodwork with their 2 cent comments about WLS. Not interested.

And that's the trouble with inviting fools to your table (so to speak): You then get to listen to them yammer all night long.

I think a side benefit of WLS is learning how not to spread our business all over the place.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
