how do you approach another wls person?
I joined a gym Friday and I've been every day since to use the pool. Today at the pool there was a lady who I really suspect has had wls. She's got a whole bunch of extra skin and her shoulders are sort of boney looking, like mine. I wanted to talk to her but I don't know how to approach someone. I'm only 3 months out and while I've lost about 70lbs total, I don't look like I've lost weight, kwim?
Any suggestions on how to approach this person? I'd love to talk to her about her journey and her fitness but I just don't know how.
Thanks!!

If our paths crossed in the shower or something, I'd make a wisecrack about my raven wings and see what happens. But if you aren't showing that stuff much yet, that's not the way to do it.
You might try seeing if you can maneuver into small talk some other way and see what happens from there. Maybe while you're naked and your surgical scars are showing :-).

Funny to see this on here today. This just happened to me on Sat. The clerk at FB clearly recently had WLS so I politely asked her about, making sure to mention that I was currently going through the process. I told her that I wouldn't feel be offended if she didn't want to share. She was very forthcoming with her experience and it just so happens she had the same surgeon I will have. So, I feel the NEVER confront approach is a little off. I think you just have to tread lightly so not to offend anyone.
