Discrimination Against People Who Had WLS

Just had my first experience with a large woman who told me I wasn't choosing a healthy lifestyle because I had weight loss surgery and that I would regret it when all my hair falls out and after I have to be in and out of the hospital for malnutrition. Wow. I normally hear the standard "the easy way out" bit but this was different.

I think this woman was part of the fat acceptance movement.

I would have said thank you and told her to have a good day. Your decision was not about her, so...

Curious...Where is the discrimination?
