Here's my take

After Scott's post I thought I would start a new one. Here's my problem. Yes I get tired of people after they go on and on and on about how good I look or how much I changed. I always feel obligated after to tell them I've had gastric bypass, why is that? I need to just learn to say thanks and be done. My biggest issue I have right now is that I feel invisible to people that know me, that haven't seen me for a while. If I walk up to some and say hi it takes them awhile to recognize me. Or if I'm somewhere people I know just walk right past me. I felt invisible before surgery, but now its almost just as bad, but for the opposite reason. After I read this through now I feel bad for feeling like this, yes I am so gratetful that I could have this surgery. I truly am happy the way I look it just doesn't seem to get any easier though.

I always seem to feel I need to tell them about the surgery too, that that's how I've been losing weight. In some cases I think it's because I feel people ought to get to see it works, and I haven't had complications, and maybe it would be an idea for them. In other cases, I think I feel that I need to justify or something. I'm not sure how to explain it. Linda Vicory
