How long did your surgery take? My mother asked the PA and she said about 3 hours. I'm guessing that's worst case scenario, cause I keep reading different amounts of time.

Yea, that's what I keep reading. I guess the doctor says 3 hours , so if I'm in there for 2hrs, my mother is not having a heart attack in waiting room thinking I should have been done an hour ago. Lol

This brings me to my other post on a different thread. The only testing I had done was an EKG, chest xr, and bloodwork. I didn't have an endoscopy, or ultrasound or cat scan... What if he sees something while he in there?? Are there signs/symptoms of a hernia?

Ughhhhhhhh...I am so tired of this dumb bi#@h I work with who keeps making comments about the surgery is the easy way out!!! I never told her I had it cause she never asked me, but I know she knows cause she asked other coworkers if I had it done! So ignorant!! I hope she gets diarrhea in her car on her way home!! Ok.. I'm done. Lol

This drives me nuts and I have run into it with my own boyfriend even (long story) anyways what works everytime is to say....."What difference does it make how a person losses weight...the important thing is that they got to their goal and they are now healthy" that usually shuts them up. It's so frustrating that these people bitch about obese people all the time then these same people bitch when they actually do something to get the weight off...I hate society ugh

I think some of us are destined to always be questioned in some negative way, I went back to work after 6weeks + off, and I got many compliments, I had been posting my progress on FB, but hey were saying it looked even more profound in person, and then yesterday I get the "dude you look sick, what is it???" And then a few hours later I get(and this from a seasoned nurse) " ah sweetie why did you do that? Your already looking too skinny so fast and your gonna be sick all the time" fortunately my charge nurse was walking up behind me and put her hand over my mouth( she knows I have no filter) and said "we gotta go" I was about to say "why'd you spend $8000 on your new boobs??? Didn't your husband leave you anyway???"lmao I can't win, but I love my nurse !!!!

All of you guys give great advice. She's just a miserable hater!! I'll definitely approach her when the time is right!

You can't fix stupid.

Lmao!!! Shes OBSESSED with people's size/weight. Maybe she's just unhappy with herself and feels good TRYING to make others feel bad.

No, she's not saying it behind my back. My boss who lost weight on her own showed an old pic of herself when she was 300 lbs, and this bitch says...I'm so happy for you, at least you did it the hard way, and not the easy way!! I know its a dig at me cause if I never had the surgery, she wouldn't have said that. I dont value her opinion at all, that's why she wasn't one of the coworkers I told about the surgery. It just annoys me that she's so ignorant.

Ha ha ha that's great. I also need to throw in there that I lived every day in pain because I have rheumatoid arthritis and mobility was limited due to pain and made exercising painful. And now that I have lost 75 lbs so far, my RA pain is nearly gone.

I would talk to your boss and let her know that you find this woman's comments not only hurtful and unprofessional, but they could be construed as sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. We've had HR training and you never, EVER, talk about someone's weight, body, looks, etc. Let your boss know that this woman's nastiness is creating an unprofessional atmosphere, and that you would like it to stop. Your boss knows you had surgery, and your boss heard her comment about the "easy way out."

I understand why that sort of shitt is so maddening. There's no reason for it, other than the person saying it gets to feel superior in some sort of sick way.
My advice is to let it go, and marginalize her. Instead of stewing about it, next time, just call her out and then let it go. People who like to slide in back-handed comments typically don't do well with a straightforward dressing down. You didn't like her before, and you are never going to. She clearly feels the same way. She's just acting out in the way that pushes your buttons, and then she can sit back and watch the show. She's backhanded, manipulative, and unpleasant. My guess is that this is her way, and not unique to her interactions with you.
She can only steal your positive energy and thunder if you let her. You will carry on, you will succeed, and she'll still be the unpleasant, unhappy misery queen that she is.

You must be talking about my mom....this is the same crap she says about me to my sister & brother....I never told her I had surgery. ..and never will!
