Days ive ran into friends and they ask " thought you had lap band??"..... I'm 3 weeks post op and have dropped 20!! Do people honestly think we just come out of surgery skinny???? Bleh ... Thanks for letting me vent

Some people don't think before they put their mouth in gear.

I remember asking a woman I knew when her baby was due. She said he was born last week. Insert foot here!

People can be really ignorant about the different types of WLS- don't let their uneducated responses take you down.

I have also asked someone I worked with and had not seen in a good year when her baby was due... Needless to say, she was not pregnant and I felt like a real a-s-s-h-o-l-e. She wasn't fat or anything, just had a bigger belly (she had already had three children).

I was once asked if I was preggers and i was not it hurts pretty bad I remember I went home and cried. But it taught me to think before I say so I don t make someones else sad.

Man I hope no one says something like that to me. The day after surgery my mom thought it would be cool to introduce my grandma to the face time app on her iPod. So of course they call me and i am passed out on meds and not feeling good. My grandma promptly gets on to me for being asleep at ten in the morning and says that I'm not going to lose weight laying around. She has always been on my ass but that was pretty extreme.

which is why i dont ask about babies EVER!

one day someone will see a friend pushing a stroller going "I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD A BABY! CONGRATS" and they will approach you and you'll see their dog is in the stroller....
