How do you deal with nosey people....

Thanks for some of the suggestions. I can't wait to try some of them out! I don't mind telling someone with a quickness how much I've lost but I am just not comfortable tell them my weight. My poor sister-in-law was in the hosptial last week. She's hoping to have band surgery in December. But in her hospital room they had a chalkboard on the wall where they posted her vitals and her weight. She said that was the first time in over 35 years her husband knew what she weighed. I know where she's coming from for sure. Some things are just personal and what I weigh is one of those things. Thanks everyone for being so helpful and creative!

Hi, this is my first post. I haven't had my surgery yet, I hope to in the next month or so. As for the rude questions, I would just try and ignore that it was asked. I can't believe people ask you that randomly, I've never had anyone ask me, and I've been overweight for a long time. Those of you that have the band, does everyone in your lives know about it? I was just planning on telling family and a few close friends, or is it obvious to co-workers etc. that you've done something?

Hey Blaze;

No, I don't think it is obvious - some people tell and some people don't. Check out this thread.

If it ever happens to me again I think I'll just say, "I could tell you... but then I'd have to kill you." (Smiling sweetly with an edge).

That works, doesn't it?

that wouldnt bother me.. cept when it required this big story about what was going on.. I just said "its complicated right now"

who cares what you weigh.. I mean I am sure anyone can guess within 30 to 50 pounds.. whats the big deal?

plus ya know how some look great at a weight and others look fat at the same weight..

I have lost 65 pounds and no one can tell..

But I am proud to say 349.....
