Went out to dinner with my executive assistant the other night. Now, this is a woman who can talk for hours and never knows when to shut up so I don't usually go anywhere with her but I digress. I got to hear a 1/2 hour tirade from her about a woman in her church who got the lapband. She went on and on about how it was cheating and not healthy weight loss and how sick she looked and her skin is flabby, etc. etc. And then she proceeded to go on and tell me how she talked to the woman and told her that she should be doing it like her boss (me) and losing weight the healthy way. I about choked on my food but needless to say she still does not know I had the band over a year ago and I never intend on telling her!

This is exactly the reason I am not sharing with people that I work with anytime soon. I know there are many that care about me but there are always those that can't keep their foot out of their mouths. This made me laugh so hard and I am still sore from surgery----good one! Keep up the good work!

Oh but you are her boss! I would so tell her, jist so she learns to put her foot in her mouth! People can be so dumb sometimes And i think you need to show her she is. Her jugding will stop after that.

Yikes! That's part of why I'm not telling people either- where I used to live and work, there was a practice that banded a TON of people but seemingly provided no nutrition education, because they all lost 30 or 40 pounds and then ate a ton of slider foods and gained it all back plus more. Everyone knew they'd had the surgery, so my whole workplace pretty much decided that LapBands are a crock. Made me so glad I'm in the practice I'm in laugh.gif

That's funny! I wish I wouldn't have told people at work...they ask "how are you?" ...then look at my stomach which is not intentional on their part but still makes me feel weird!

Now that is funny!!

I told a couple of my co-workers and regret it. One person told me his sister n law had the band and she never lost any weight. They are constantly asking me how much I lost. I think they are waiting for me to fail so they can say I told you so. I found out later the sister n law never returned after the band for a fill!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
