Was told this week that I was gaunt and had too much neck skin hanging and that is why she knew I had gastric bypass.. What the H*ll?...Now that could be a rant! People say the damndist things don't they?! Time to hide in the closet till plastics can fix my ugly ass!!!!!!!!!!!

I was told my face & neck look like Tales of the Crypt and that I needed to gain 30 pounds back.

To hell with them. I'd rather look like it than be dead in a crypt. I got a panni. I'm done with plastics. And done giving a damn about who thinks they have a right to an opinion about my weight or my looks

how rude some people can be! I'd try to think of some snappy comeback but they just don't deserve the energy that would take.RJ just keep on standing out in the sunshine... To hell with them!

I'm wondering if any one has faced judgement for choosing surgery rather than "diet and excersize", as if no one has ever tried that method before choosing surgery... There seems to be a palpable divide between various weight maintenance methods, even amongst those in a gym setting where some love cycling but others love Zumba... just pondering.

In a more related comment, if anyone says anything about sagging skin to me I'll tell them it's my badge of honor cause I took control of my health. On a side note, you could mention to them that you could get plastic surgery but there is no cure for their stupidity!

I have been told several times that I am "too skinny". The same person will then tell me I look great and she is jealous. I try to take the comments as a compliment. The other day I was showing her a project I want to do at my house and was pointing up at the roof. She grabbed the flabby underarm hanging from my arm and said "you should draw a nipple on these and tell everyone you have extra boobs". THAT HURT MY FEELINGS. I will be getting the arm surgery as soon as I can afford it.

She must have said it in a mean spirited way. Or our senses of humor are vastly different. I just think if someone said that to me, I WOULD DO IT. Then lift up my arm and tweak my fake underarm nipple and stare at them, breathing heavily.

@vogue...

my husband I'd totally against me having a lap band placed but he is still supporting MY decision. His beliefs are that we can lose weight the traditional way together, however he's a pure natural when it comes to any exercising regimens. The decision for WLS has been one of my ultimate goals for 2014, and with the support of my husband, children amd mother, I KNOW I will succeed. I've only told two friends of my decision and they are supporting me 100%. Friday is so close but yet so far away. I'm super excited and emotions are all over the place. #nervous #anxious #happy

So after hearing from the most negative person in the world tell me for months and months how she thinks of WLS is the easy way out and how unhealthy it is to do to your body she has the nerve to tell me she tried to get it done and our insurance doesn't cover it at work....mind you we work across from each other everyday at work...Hold me back....are you freaking kidding me??? wow!!!!! Will work twice a hard to lose weight to prove a point now...will take this moment and use it for good...

Oh my word that is so mean. I guess that's why she said it.
