It was because f someone being open with me about her surgery that I was led to it myself, so I try to pay it forward that eway. I've actually only encountered one person that was against it, and even she was respectfully against it. I also have the luxury of not caring what others think (or at least that's what I tell myself)!Justawallflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735468144410586496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175865385275816714.post-79241370237545401122011-03-15T06:05:13.135-07:002011-03-15T06:05:13.135-07:00I tell people the same thing you do, why do they n...I tell people the same thing you do, why do they need a complete run-down of my medical history? Pfft! Unless they're as unhealthy as I was when I first started, then I might let it slip that I might have had surgery. ;) I've regretted telling at least 3 people, so I'm VERY cautious about who I tell now.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136948771014366470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175865385275816714.post-36493984609778371932011-03-14T13:34:47.851-07:002011-03-14T13:34:47.851-07:00I answer like you do unless I think they could rea...I answer like you do unless I think they could really use the information. I also felt more confident giving out the information after I lost a lot of weight.Amanda Kiskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035180757671095192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175865385275816714.post-18086552582123854772011-03-14T12:42:29.813-07:002011-03-14T12:42:29.813-07:00I tell them I had lapband surgery.

Sometimes, depending on the person, I get the "oh...you CHEATED"...look, but I dont really care. I enjoy (although it's probably wrong of me), when those people who doubted or said they were going to lose weight the old fashioned way, when 2 years later I am healthy and happy and they are still UNhealthy. That's bad huh?Amy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15765516850913923317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175865385275816714.post-70561770952903689392011-03-14T11:54:27.359-07:002011-03-14T11:54:27.359-07:00You know, it's funny, very few people have ask...You know, it's funny, very few people have asked *how* I've done it. But when someone asks point-blank, especially if that person needs to lose weight too, I come clean about the band.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242107654058014740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175865385275816714.post-73557294543241034942011-03-14T10:51:49.614-07:002011-03-14T10:51:49.614-07:00I answer honestly that I got a lap band in January...I answer honestly that I got a lap band in January 2009 and I exercise my butt off. :) I agree it is nobody's business, so I completely understand people that choose not to tell. But I just feel too weird. At first, I was nervous because I kept thinking, "what if I tell all these people and I fail?" But here I am 85 pounds later and I don't care who knows. You are doing so great, chica!!Beth Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063989714851082617noreply@blogger.com
