So I will be sleeved in December, and I have been sharing my plans with a few female friends. My decision to have the surgery was mainly Type I Diabetes, sleep apnea, Transverse Myelitis, asthma, high cholesterol high BP, etc. etc. This surgery will help my blood sugars, which will help my cholesterol, lower my dependence on BP medications and asthma meds and possibly thyroid meds., eliminate my sleep apnea and stress incontinence, I AM READY! My friends, being chicks, listen to me talk about my comorbitites/autoimmune issues and then say, "No fair! You're going to be skinnier than me!" REALLY? THAT is your reaction? Unreal.

It has been for me! Iv had " I worked hard to lose 60 lbs and your getting the easy way out" and the best one yet, " we'll now your going to be the purity one, that's not fair" ok so does that mean I'm the ugly one now, I wanted to slap that chick ( mainly bc even at 267 I'm still cutter then her , lol sorry that's mean but she called me the ugly one basically) ...... I think what it is ( at lest for me) is iv become " the fat friend" the one that being around me makes them feel better ab themselves, bc all my friends back home who never knew me big ( iv gained 120 lbs since I moved away) are only happy and excited for me and can't wait to see me back thin, these chicks here are hating on me.

Like to give my 2cense F'em if they are not happy thT your get healthy so you can be around forever to be there "friend" Then they really ain't your friend period!! keep going ladies Let'em hate Lol

Hater going to hate , lover going to love

Exactly

WOW! smh... In certain circumstances people true colors will show. Sad! Praying for a healthier you and success on your journey.

I'm with you guys on this! I had a co-worker bring her hateraid to me. Don't lose to much weight.. Whatever.. I can't wait until I finish losing this darn weight. That's exactly why I don't want anyone to know that I had the surgery . I don't know why people can't be happy for you. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything. Keep your jealousy to yourself!

Thanks. I am not worried about their reactions. Just surprised at how low their self-esteem must be...and yes. I will be healthier. and yes. I WILL LOOK FABULOUS!
