How do I deal with the haters? I havent told anyone except spouse and children that I was getting banded. there is one person at work that knows because we were both doing this on a buddy system, except she had GBP surgery. she is doing well and have lost 75 lbs and the haters are really giving her hell. What do I do? go ahead and tell them or continue to lie about it. Im 12 days out of surgery right now, but they will soon start to see my weight loss as well.:sad:

Ok....here's what you do.....put on a cute outfit, put on the song by Jill Scott...Hate on Me Haters and walk down the hall in front of them.

Shoot girl...let them hate. This was done for YOU!

If they are haters...why are you hanging out with them?? The one thing I try and remember when people ask me questions I don't want to answer is to ask them, "Why do you want to know?". It usually stops them everytime. Good luck!

I look at my lap banding as the first day of the rest of my life and I am doing this for me not anyone else. I tell everyone about it and dont worry about what people say because I have never felt better and love losing the weight. Dont be afraid to share with people
