Would or has anyone approached another morbidly obese person about WLS?

I have been wondering if I am just nosey or if I am normal. Ever since I have discovered the joy of WLS, I have wanted to walk up to people who I think would benefit from surgery. I have wanted to tout all the positive things WLS could do for them, and suggest they look into it. Today, I found myself staring at a lady who was clearly having problems that were related to her obesity. I was contemplating walking up to her and telling her my story. My son pulled me out of my reverie when he said, "Mommy, quit staring, it's not nice..." Boy, was I embarassed! Anyway, she isn't the first person I have wanted to tell what this surgery has done for me. Mind you, I haven't actually gone up to anyone. I haven't gained the courage to do that. I was just wondering if anyone has felt the same way or if they have actually approached someone. If you have, what happened? How did the person respond to you? Thanks for all your input...
