Lipsticklady,

I wish I had read your post much earlier. I have actually had neighbors ask me if I'm sick! One "friend" told everyone about my surgery. So people I don't even know ask me about it.

I have gotten " how many more Mary Kate Olson's are you going to lose" from a close friend who knows about my surgery. It made me laugh so hard so now when rude people ask me how much I've lost I say a Mary Kate Olson. You do the math. I get a lot of blank stares but it stops them in their tracks.
