Worst comment you've heard so far



Recommended Posts

Yeah' date=' people who hadn't acknowledge me in YEARS are now all of a sudden commenting on all my shit on fb and liking all my pictures and are trying to talk to me, and it's not even all guys. Oh and that's another thing... I'd be lucky to maybe possibly get 2 likes on a picture 6 months ago... My profile picture has 28 likes... Seriously people?!

See, that's what I'm not trying to deal with. I was going to make a whole new profile and add people to see if the recognize me later and what they have to say, if they treat me different.

Sorry - did. It mean to press send so quickly in previous post. I have an obese relative who makes slightly negative comments such as "oh, your diet is so limited right now - how sad." My calm reply: "it actually is not limited - I have to focus on Proteins." Relative's comment: "how sad that to cannot drink coffee." Calm reply: "I am very happy with Decaf and do not want the appetite-stimulating and dehydration effects of caffeine." Relative's comment: "You are going to have a lot of loose skin." Calm reply: " I am happy to have lose skin and not suffer the negative effects of obesity." This relatives' comments are always said with an artificially sympathetic tone of voice. I consider them slightly passive aggressive. I counter them directly by calmly as soon as they occur because I have to spend a lot of time with this elderly relative. This is a other example of aggression being packaged beneath the veneer of a socially acceptable sympathy and politeness. This relative has a weight problem - so I have a feeling that that is the issue.

By contrast I have another obese relative (a parent) who says positive things such as "I am so happy that this surgery is possible and that you all not have to suffer what I have suffered." This elderly parent is basically bedridden from diabetes and could, sadly, never make it through surgery. Very interesting contrast.

When people remark about how little I eat, I tell them that after looking at their meals it's amazing to think I used to eat that much........conversation ends!

Worst comment I've been told: "you wouldn't need surgery if you just learned how to put the fork down and get off the couch"

My reply was something the lines of if it were that easy obesity wouldn't be a problem.

People are lame!

.::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::.

Ugh, some people are clueless. I've had several family members who have actually had the surgery. The first was 15 yrs ago. She kept all the weight off, hasn't had issues, and it saved her life!!! So my family obviously have the genetics, and all are supportive. I just had the surgery a week ago. Only a couple people outside of my family knows I've had it. I feel it's none of their biz. But if asked I'll offer up how, no guilt only proud that I am bettering my life to make myself healthy.

My lovely husband wondered why i got very angry with him' date=' after returning from my morning walk. He looked at me, and said you are going to have to lose alot of weight on my legs because they are still really fat!!!

Since the op (3 months ago) i have lost about 55 pound, i walk about 2.5 miles each morning and go 3 times a week to aerobic classes. I am trying so hard, i just couldn't understand how stupid he could be. And he wonders why he doesnt get alot of sex!! Lol[/quote']

My now ex husband, after a 22 ur marriage, Mentioned something about my weight gain. F' him. But then he insisted that I was beautiful and don't need this surgery. Divorce finalized 5 days after surgery.

      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.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      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! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
