I love this part of WLS!
I work for a large employer in Portland. I have only been in my current department for six months. Last night we had a company-wide shin-dig (party, for you younger folks! ) There was people there that I haven't seen since I changed jobs. Many of them walked right past me because they didn't recognize me! Or, when they did recognize my face the next thing they did was quickly look at my body, like, "This face doesn't belong there!" It was fun and funny! Of course I did have some people say things like, "What's different about you? Is it your hair?"
Another thing, I'm very open about having WLS. When I tell people their mouths drop open, then when I tell them I had it done in Mexico they about fall over! I guess it's our job to educate the world, huh?
Whatever! I haven't felt this good in along time and I'm not going to let anyone bring me down!

Congratulations Kathleen!
It really is fun to see the reaction of people when they haven't seen you in a while. It is amazing how often they decide you've done something to your hair. When I tell someone I've lost 101 pounds, they tell me there's no way I had that much to lose. If I have a before picture with me they usually say they don't remember me being that big. Whatever it is, I'm having the time of my life and I love wearing 10/12 clothes again!
Keep up the good work, you are doing great!
