Getting treated differently when you are overweight

I haven't had surgery yet and it's been a long time since I was slim.  But I don't really think people treat me all that different.  I forget that I'm heavy until I try to squeeze into a chair and don't fit or something like that.  So I don't think I project anything that would invite people to reject me.  Even when I'm slim, I'm not sexy or seductive, so that's not really a factor for me.  If I had been a person who garnered attention based on my looks when I was slim, I'm sure I'd notice more of a difference now that I'm heavy.  But my appearance has never been eye-catching at any weight.

I have never been bothered by my weight, so I kinda just tuned everything possibly said about it out.  It had never stopped me from doing anything I wanted to, until I needed knee surgery and was told that they won't do it until I lose a considerable amount of weight.  OK, so that was my wake-up call.
That being said, my sleeve surgery is scheduled for 2 weeks from today.......I am excited and nervous.  Gab, how are you doing?  Did you get a surgery date yet?  Hang in there!!
