I thought it was hilarious...I finally had my consult yesterday with the surgeon, and after taking my history, she looked at me and said, "well, i think you are a perfect patient for this surgery".

i thought that was pretty funny...when was the last time you'all were considered a 'perfect physical specimen', heh?:blushing:

i didnt know there was such a thing as perfectly fat

You know that's exactly what my doctor said to me!!! It was the first time I went to a doctor and didn't mind being weighed and knew I wasn't going to be lectured!!! He was so kind as to not mention what my actual weight was in front of my husband (although he knew) and was very respectful of me. Now, isn't that the way it should always be!!!

Good luck

sharon

me too!!! I thought it was hilarious as well. But nice, for once to be just perfect Until I went to the nutrition eval, and the nice, skinny lady asked me how I thought I got to this situation. Well, I suck at dieting, I eat alot and I don't exercise - duh!!! I really tried to come up with a more pithy response, but that's the bottom line, isn't it? So she says, "you'll really need to adopt an exercise plan and focus on eating small amounts" - again, REALLY???? YOU THINK?? Goodness, would I be getting Lap Band if I wasn't committed to doing those things? OK, I'm finished ranting now :mad:

I'm gonna focus on the being perfect bit again...:smile2:

I've got one that may even beat that....we were talking about which band to use/outcome of surgery etc and my surgeon said "We could really do just about anything since you have so little to lose." Hahahahahahahaha......I was 275.2lbs that day, so LITTLE to lose. I think I laughed all the way home!

heh I can do better, my surgeon said I was a bariatrics surgeons dream cause I am so tiny wasted. pshhhh I hate being narrow in the waist and big in the rear .... to many inch's difference for my happiness. LOL

i love it!

only we could appreciate the irony...

"perfect" and in your doctor will be "perfectly" happy to take your money (or your insurances' money).

lol.
