Sofficial 162 Posted October 1, 2013 Have you ran into anyone that haven't seen you since pre op? What was their reaction? I'm talking about people who haven't seen you in months or years. My son plays football and football season is from July to November, so I won't see any of the parents or coaches until about 4 or 5 moths post op and I wonder all the time what will they say how will they react when 50lbs or hopefully more is gone. My co-Workers and classmates will see the weight come off, I'm assuming their reactions will be slightly different. What's your reaction stories? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted October 1, 2013 I've had that happen a few times in the last few weeks. All very positive, "wow" you look great kind of thing. My very favorite was from a friend of a friend that I ran into at a festival this weekend. I have not seen him since just after surgery 9 months ago. He came over, looked me up and down and said "wow"... Bless his heart, he worried how that sounded. ..So he followed it with " Well you know I always thought you were always beautiful" but NOW Damn"... LOL He got a BIG hug for that one. Male friends of mine always seem to have a "better" reaction, it's good to feed the ego sometimes. 4 Sofficial, lilbearzmom, cathyem1 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
