A co-worker of mine, who prior to my surgery was all about helping me along. She was a successful bander who wanted to take me under her wing. Post-op she changed. Negitive nelly, if you will. She is 3 years post of and has lost 70 lbs. I have no idea what she weighs, she looks nice, not tiny but healthy.

She ask me today how much I'd lost. I told her 50+ lbs in 9 months. Rather than saying good job she snickered. She ask how much more I wanted to lose, I said around 50.

She plain out said I would never be able to do it with the band and I should have had gastric bypass. If I needed to loose 100 lbs then my doctor never should have done the band. She keeps telling me that I had more to loose than she did. I have never told her my numbers so how the hell does she know.

I am sorry, but that is just a b#$%3 thing to say.

While my weight loss has slowed, why is it impossible to lose all of my excess body weight? I don't know if I will get that small, but I would at least like to make to the 150's.

If you are going to be negitive and discouraging keep it to yourself!

Hope you take her negative comments and attitude and turn it around as a motivation to get to your goal weight, plus make the lifestyle changes to make keeping it off, well before her and prove her wrong.

The band again is just a tool and success lies with you, perhaps your just a more successful person

With all due respect to your co-worker, screw her! She is just jealous of your success and how fast you are losing. Don't pay attention to her. You are doing great! Keep it up!

What a witch !
