Don't be that person..

LMAO!!!

Hilarious.....  :)  

 LMAO!  I have noticed the same thing with certain groups of people.  One of the women I know in "real life" who had the surgery several years before I did was still making a HUGE deal of how little she could eat and how limited her choices of foods were when she was 3-4 years out... It got on people's nervs (especially the "there's nothing I can eat there" nonsense) that people just stopped inviting her to anything that involved food... And I promised myself that I wouldn't be like her!

It doesn't happen with all RNYers, though. When a group of us (Pam, Tony, and I, and a few other people)  went to King's Island after the Cincy OH conference, though, we ate lunch at Subway and there was NONE of that...  at least not among those of us that were more than a year out, LOL. Tony can really eat a lot, but he NEEDS more food to fuel that 6'9" body!

I too was pleasantly surprised at OH conference on the whole (though there was a lot of food debauchery going on too).

But yeah...I purposely don't hang with a lot of post-ops for that reason. We seem to feed off each others neuroses. Or we enable each other. Bad stuff right there.

Just to be devil's advocate, why should some of our choices to keep our surgery private prevent others from seeking out a discount. It sounds like this particular woman was difficult, but I don't see a problem with being open about your weight loss surgery and trying to get a discount if you are polite about it.
