That said, I don't think there is any shame in WLS; for some people, it really is the only way. It's when patients don't take their counseling/new lifestyle seriously or surgeons are too casual with whom they approve for the procedure that the rampant failure happens.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949876371473945014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023359697887262814.post-42967568518578535742013-06-08T11:12:51.266-05:002013-06-08T11:12:51.266-05:00Ugh, maybe she was trying to pay you a compliment ...Ugh, maybe she was trying to pay you a compliment in some strange way. Saying you looked nice today would have been a better way to go about it. Sometimes I wonder how people can even walk around with their foot in their mouth.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00190353330857132739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023359697887262814.post-7115966007385019192013-06-07T07:59:36.825-05:002013-06-07T07:59:36.825-05:00Perhaps because it's so common nowadays, she j...Perhaps because it's so common nowadays, she just assumed you lost weight via surgery instead of the "old fashioned" way?

But you do look lovely, and her wild guess, based upon her own life, was wrong. <br /><br />:-) MarionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023359697887262814.post-72385883122888867582013-06-06T12:10:12.020-05:002013-06-06T12:10:12.020-05:00I'd have been insulted, too.

It's more along the lines of one of those things you have to wait for someone to tell you (like weight loss surgery, homosexuality, religion, pregnancy, etc). You don't ask about those things. You wait for a person to tell you. Until then, you keep your mouth shut...even if you see the woman's water break. <br /><br />Maybe she just didn't want to feel alone in her stomach staplery or something. <br /><br />Don't worry. You look fantastic and you've worked your ass off (literally!) for each and every ounce you've lost. ;)Chubby McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314736525363564330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023359697887262814.post-49726372962085840332013-06-06T11:35:27.939-05:002013-06-06T11:35:27.939-05:00It's a burden to be beautiful..
