This probably sounds sort of "out there" , but i am wondering if anyone is or had been treated differently since the effects of your WLS has taken effect?
    For the holidays i saw lots of family that i had not seen since right before or right after my procedure.. I noticed that the "heavier" people in my family paid 0 compliments or comments about my weight loss.. I mean they did not acknowledge it at all!!!!! These were the people that i was extremely close to.. i have to say it really hurt my feelings... 
    Truly i think that this is a no brainer....... I do know deep within my heart why they shy away from saying anything , but i want them to know i am still ....ME! Just because my outer is different .. i am still the same person inside!!
  I wish you all a very very Blessed New Year!!!!
