Windus 0 Posted May 12, 2011 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MCCLB 16 Posted May 12, 2011 I would've told the bitch-- that would've shut her up, lol. 1 TKW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elie936 1 Posted May 12, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rachel412 116 Posted May 12, 2011 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tntmom 1 Posted May 13, 2011 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandy1 1 Posted May 13, 2011 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!
