Why don't ppl mind their business? I haven't even went on my first appt.. but i am serious and I am determined to make this happen... I was commenting to someone about it and another person tells me with exercise and a good diet anyone can lose weight.. If it were that easy wouldn't we all be skinny??? I have tried everything and I lose little to no weight or I yo-yo.. it's not like you get surgery and that's it you lose weight.. you do need a proper diet and you need to exercise.

I didn't feel the need to explain myself so I told that person to mind their business :-)

LOL you told them right there are so many people who make comments without thinking and are so judgemental this is one reason people do not like going to the gym as well. Congrats on your choice to being healthy , I can tell you that I am 3 months post opt and this was the best decision that I ever made. Good luck and keep us posted.

I agree, ugh! So annoying!! Good luck to you!!

Welcome to your first lesson in keeping your mouth closed about your choice to have surgery. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. The comments, attitudes, and snears will come and that's the primary reason I'm not saying a damn thing to anybody.

I really could care less what people think and I'll have plenty to focus on after surgery besides other people's thoughts about my choice. It's insulting and rude to say the least, but for some reason people seem to come out of the woodwork with their 2 cent comments about WLS. Not interested.

I agree with you all..I was getting advise from a person who weighs 95 lbs wet!...really! ?!?

I'm ready to be healthy. I need this tool to get me there.

And that's the trouble with inviting fools to your table (so to speak): You then get to listen to them yammer all night long.

I think a side benefit of WLS is learning how not to spread our business all over the place.
