Im looking for any insight or any ideas.... So... Im from Los Angeles, but I go to college in Nebraska. I had my surgery july 1, 2005 after leaving NE for the summer in May. I didnt really tell that many people I was having it, because I wasnt sure if it was going to happen at the time. This fall semester (that is currently wrapping up) I spent studying abroad in London. Im 100 lbs lighter than when I left school. When I walk into the building and people say things, what is the best way to deal with it? I dont mind talking about surgery, but i dont want to just shout it out. How do I readjust? Anyone have simalir experiences?

You don't have to explain anything to anyone...When someone notices and comments then you can make the decision to tell them about your experience or to simply say "Thank You" and continue on. I've found that people (some without even noticing) tend to be crass when they run into me after not seeing me since before surgery (I've lost 115lbs in 6.5 mos). Becky 5/17/05 310/195/155 -115 in 6.5 mos!

I think, IM just so excited about surprising people that it might be hard to keep so motivated after they already know....
