Unfriggenbelievable

Shut up! (jk) Are you for real people wore weights on their ankle? But that can be dangerous because they may lose more weight than they should in the end?


Has anyone seen Kim from New Jersey and Kelly my twin?

If she weighed under 200 pounds then there's definitely no excuse for her not losing the weight on her own other than being lazy.  That's what people mean when they say someone took "the easy way out".  I admit I gained 2 pounds to get to a BMI of 40 (still waiting on my surgery date), but I know how many times I've yo-yo'd up and down and how frustrating it is.  I don't think she means harm, but maybe she finds it frustrating when you tell her that all she has to do is go to the gym.  Before your surgery, did you want people to keep telling you that?

Keep in mind also she said this person is VERY short. Someone who is short can be obese at under 200 lbs. Check out the Lightweights board.

I agree.  I'm 5'2" and I had a BMI of 40 at 223 pounds.

Sounds like someone who does not have a good idea of what wls intails or how difficult it is even with surgery.  I have one on my job too...girl, keep doing what you do and just pray that when & if it is her turn for wls that you are able to be the support she needs & that she should have been to you. 
Best of luck on your journey!

I would do it. It would be much easier for someone like me to gain forty than to lose forty. It is what it is...
