jessamarie24 173 Posted December 7, 2012 I think the worst comment I've heard is is eitherare, " you dying? You must be dying to lose all that weight.." or one of my good guy friends told me, "you'll never really be skinny anyway... The surgery is going to do horrible things to your skin and it's all going to sag. I'd rather have you stay fat and not have sagging skin!" I was like hmm I thought you were my best friend!

catgirl12 21 Posted December 7, 2012 Someone said to me that she couldn't believe I was having the surgery because its extremely dangerous. She is an RN and also very overweight so I figured she was either jealous or very uneducated about gastric bypass surgery 3 mrsblues, Miris and PhotoChic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted December 7, 2012 Worst comment I've been told: "you wouldn't need surgery if you just learned how to put the fork down and get off the couch" My reply was something the lines of if it were that easy obesity wouldn't be a problem.

jessica143 23 Posted December 7, 2012 I can not (yes I can..who am I kidding) how insensitive and rude some people can be..I only told my best friend and my daughter about the surgery..Dec.5th but I have lost weight in the past and people would just readily say to my face it's cause I've been depressed and stressed and not take that um maybe I've been watching what I've been eating for an answer..

It sounds like your friend is intimated by your act of self-empowerment. Self-empowerment in any form changes relationships. 1 one4ozzie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bakawaka 108 Posted December 13, 2012 One of my colleagues commented that I must be a hypochondriac to have had surgery. He has a master's degree (no guarantee against ignorance). I calmly explained that no, obesity, high blood pressure an hyperlipidemia are dangerous conditions. I was surprised at my colleague's ignorance. Several people also have commented, "you don't look big enough to need surgery." Again, I calmly explain that I have class I obesity and that I do not want to become morbidly obese. It is very interesting that I have received these comments from other bariatric patients. Fascinating. 1 Molly1978 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker_gurl 119 Posted December 13, 2012 Wow! I have had a person tell me "I'm so glad you had that surgery because you were just huge!" Its surprising how people treat me now that I've had surgery. It's like they're ok with me now that I'm losing weight. My best friend is about the same size as me when I started the process and her grandparents are pressuring me to talk her into surgery. I've told them it's her decision and that I can tell her about my experiences and I'll be there to support her through the process if she chooses this, but ultimately, it's up to her.
