Anyone else go up to a MO stranger and tell them about surgery?

Well yesterday I saw a lady in the grocery store. She was a super MO, on oxygen. She was able to get up to select items but was zipping around the store in her scooter. I found myself carefully introducing myself with my before photo. Told her what I have done. Turned out she is waiting on her first appointment with a local surgeon. I invited her to our group meeting, since its open to anyone. We had a nice chat and I even showed her my incisions. Has anyone else done this. I know its forward, and pushy. But in her shape she has so much to gain by WLS. Oh yes has anyone gotten mad? I was prepared to apologize and make a quick exit. Its like answering questions here, I promised myself if I survived surgery and did well I would try to give something back to help others.....
