Getting treated differently when you are overweight
VSG on 02/01/12 with
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!!
