What's the worst thing someone said to you?



Recommended Posts

I was out with friends one evening and a man approached me. He said I don't mind your weight I like big girls. I was blown away. First of all I am married and was not looking to hook up secondly, after that who on earth would have gone with such a person?

Also I was working in my flower garned one day when a car of teenagers drove by and one of them yelled hey big butt. I still hate working in the front yard.

reading this thread reminds of things that have been said to me. its great to have a place we can go to talk about these things!

this thread also reminds me of a movie i watched on monday its called "just friends" its a comedy about a boy that was overweight in high school and his best friend was a girl and he had a crush on her, he told her he liked her in her yearbook and it got into the hands of a jock and he humiliated the chubby guy in front of everyone, long story short he moved away lost all the weight, saw the girl again and she wants him! in my opinion he shoulda said.. um i dont think so.. but of course not! ya'll gotta see it, its actually really funny!

My big sister who is "normal size" introduced me to a lady that has been going to the gym where we go. (I hadn't been going lately because of a health issue with my hand) My sister said this is my little sister and that lady who is 5 foot nothing and well over 200 lbs had the audacity to look me up and down and then at my sister and said Yeah Right! I just looked at her and walked away. Then I teared up and my sister came over and I told her that was not pleasant introduction and she said we just have to ignore people like that. Well,I told her just give a few more months and I'll be a statuesque 5'10" very proud woman and she will still be overweight and rude! Why is it acceptable for people to say such hurtful things with no thought of it being rude?

I remember I had to make an appointment for a gall bladder ultrasound for a routine test. Anyway, I called my local hospital to set up the test; and when it came to giving my weight, it was "we can't do your test here, you are over the weight limit our table holds. You have to go to another hospital." They couldn't hold someone that was only FOUR POUNDS over the limit? :rolleyes What really chapped my behind was me wasting ten minutes on the phone only to be told I'd have to call somewhere else! Why didn't they tell me this stuff before wasting my time with the questions? Sheesh.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
