Top 5 Things NOT to Say to a WLS Patient!

What did I miss, you guys?

http://greeknugget.blogspot.com/2013/08/top-5-things-not-to-say-to-weight-loss.html

Are you sure you need this?

You know you can't eat/drink that after surgery, right?

You need to do this for your health, not your looks.

Have you tried anything else?

Oh, my friend had that. She went senile/gained it all back/joined the tea party.

It's insane what people will say to us!

Here's another one.

Oh, when my friend told me she had a friend who had the surgery she wanted me to meet . . . I thought you would be one of the super hugmongus women.

the worst is when they try to tell you anything about someone else who had "that surgery"...also, I've gotten sensitive to when anyone (even close friends and family) ask me how much weight I have lost so far

"Have you heard about the neighbors, cousins, friends, sister who had the surgery and died?" My moms husbands 2nd wife actually did die from RNY complications (blood clot) about 8 yrs ago. Didn't deter me tho. It might if I was considering the RNY however!

My personal favorite is "Oh isn't the surgery where you gain all the weight back!?"

Wonderful responses! It really does get annoying. Everyone is a genius about this surgery, huh? HA!
