Hi Donna, I keep a before picture in my pocketbook and one in my apron pocket so I can show people. Because some will say "but you weren't that big". then I take out the picture and they say "oh my goodness I guess I forgot". But some people are just rude. I have this one "friend" who always tells people "before Koukla used to be the fattest one now I am." Nice huh? But I do believe you should bring your before picture and show her. And enjoy seeing her mouth drop. And your day will be made. sincerely, koukla

thanks for the reminder. I also am having a bone density scan at the end of the month- has anyone done this yet? It was recommended by my primary not my WLS. d

Hello sweet friends, well I've started up with my pilates and yoga after taking some time off to let my biontic knee heal, and it is. So I go to class today and tell the instructor that I just had knee surgery about three months ago so I will be modifying. Fine, no problem. Then another lady said, I have to take it easy too cause I had a tummy tuck. So I chased her down after class and just asked her a little bit about it, where she went, etc. She hadn't had wls by the way. But I told her that I had and that was why I was interested in plastics. She looked at me and said, "you don't need wls surgery, you're so little. I don't know why so many people are doing that now when they are little'. So okay, I'm a nice person, I don't like confrontation, but I don't run away from someone who is so obviously misinformed. I told her first thank you for saying I was little, I haven't heard that much in my life (by the way, I'm not little!!!). Then yeah you're right, if I weighed what I do now I would not have had wls, but I didn't, I weighed almost 300 pounds. More people are doing it because obesity is such a problem and most of us have tried everything. Well by that we were at our cars, but it left me unsettled. I dont know why, I guess cause I felt I had to explain myself to her. I am going to take some before pictures on Wednesday and show her. Do I need to do that -- or just let the matter drop!! I always tell people I had the surgery, I am not ashamed and I like to promote the good experience I had. But I can see why some people don't when there are ignorant uninformed people out there who like to give their opinion. And this wasn't even that bad -- I know other people have had worse experiences. Sense of humor, please come back by Wednesday so I don't walk up to her and punch her out!!! So have you all had similar experiences?? love donna
