Embarrassing Day!!

So I went to pick up my post-op pain meds cause my surgeon wants us to do that beforehand. The pharmacist was explaing them to me and asked if the meds were "for after I had the baby". I laughed it off but was kinda embarrassed. LOL!! More reason to have this surgery!!!

Well I'm glad you can laugh about it! I have been asked more than once when I was due, etc...never pleasant! I can't wait until I'm sleeved!! Good luck to you!

Oh no !

That's happened to me too :(! But I've also done that to others too, yikes! Good you can laugh it off :)

WOW! That sucks!

Sorry that happened to you. The pharmacist is probably just as embarrassed, but maybe s/he learned his lesson not to ask. I've feared being asked this question...it has never happened, but I also were my pants tight and always have a muffin top. :P Soon, none of us will be confused as being pregnant! Proud of you for laughing it off!

Sorry that happened to you. Did you laugh and do you straight face? :mellow:, I think the straight face would've probably scared em though lol so maybe that's not a good idea. Kudos to you for keeping your cool :clap2:

I"m sorry this happend and I am glad you can laugh it off. It probably happened because you must look beautiful and glowing with expectation! So here's a gorgeous woman who has a little extra weight and is so radiant... she must be expecting!!!! .. Okay, you're expecting a sleeve :-) Good luck with your surgery. You are sooooo going to rock!!!!!!

Thanks ladies! I think I was able to laugh it off cause I am soooo close to my sleeve date and new life!

This has happened to me so many times. I have small legs and no butt and suppose I really do look prego since I carry all my weight in the front. Some of today's fashion trends don't help matters either. Try not to let it get you down- you are doing something about it so be proud!

Wow same thing happened to me, i was shopping for a baby shower and someone i KNEW saw me and said are you really having another baby , i said yes , yes i am , they were like omg resaly at your age , and i said NO i am going to a baby shower i am just FAT................

I guess it's kinda comforting that I am not the only one this has happened too!!

You're definitely not alone there! Looks like we're being sleeved on the same day, so we need to buddy up!! :D
