Well guess I can say that I have never recieved a negative comment. At least not yet. I would like to hope it stays that way. Sally

Probably from older and a bit jealous sister, who said aren't you going feeling weird with all the hanging skin your going to have and waht will you do wear layers to cover it all up. And of course I don't have a lot of hanging skin and wear very nice fitting clothes.

I can't think of any comments,but someone I thought was a good friend quit talking to me after I had the surgery.I have no idea why,she is not over weight,so she has no reason to be upset with me.I have had some funny comments,like I look to healthy to have had this surgery.LOL Patti

Luckily I haven't had to deal with any negative comments. Yet, anyway Cheers!

People just ask me how much I am losing. (I'm asked almost every other day). I do get tired of it, but that's ok.

My hubby told me I was vain. He said I spend more time in the mirror than ever before. I told him it's because I can look at myself and not be repulsed by the reflection for the first time in 20 years. I let it roll off my back. It's testosterone.

Unfortunately, the best and worst have come from my husband. Now that I am losing a lot of weight, things aren't as full as they used to be. He likes to poke at it and say "ooh...flabby". When I say something or give him the look, he just says well you knew it was going to happen. GRRRRRR!!!! Christy

My worst was from a male co-worker. I see him everyday and we talk, after I lost 50 lbs he came up to me one day, and asked me , since you are losing weight you are looking good, do you want to go out? I told him no, I had a B/F. he then tells me. He was only attacted me now since I lost wieght, not before.. I should accept his offer now, Cause he is not going to make it again.. To this day, he does not even come by my office anymore or says hi even in the hallways.. LoL... My second came from my sister and it hurt more, she told me that she can lose weight without surgery, that only losers do that way. and then she posted that on her MY space page with a link to my myspace..

Oh boy in the last 18 months I have had a bunch of stupid comments, such as I look sick, to skinny- ahh ya I am 5'71/2 and go between 155-158 on any given day lately. Far from skinny! And we started a support group at school and a lady said to me like you need to watch your weight your thin enough. This was a lady whom I have known for years... Some people just don't think before they speak!
