Lynn this ones for you..lol

Hey everyone, I posted this on the DS board..but after reading lynns post about "do you lie" i thought this would be a funny story to post over here. I went to a friends house for a BBQ a few days ago. I'm guessing there must be some speculation that i had weight loss surgery. If you didn't know i pulled the ole star jones...had surgery and didn't tell anyone except my wife; actually i told everyone that i was having gall bladder surgery so they woudn't hastle me about why i had disappeared for a month for recovery. Anyway i could tell that they were analyzing what i was eatting to see if i've had it. So after 4 pieces of chicken a cup of spanish rice, some salad and a few pieces of chocolate, a ton of fruit (cherries, banana, watermelon) and a piece of cake...i think they are more confused then ever...lol. Do i lie about having the WLS??? nah ...i just neglect to tell the full truth...lol. scott

Scott, I hate to admit that I don't know much about DS.. I had just heard most insurances didn't cover it so I never really looked into it. Gosh by the way you get to enjoy food, wish maybe I had.. but I did have RNY and have been completely happy with my choice so far. Thanks for your response to my post, I am not a big fan of Star Jones, but I totally support her for not coming out with her surgery.. After all it is her private business, plus she probabley doesn't want to be the poster child for WLS. Thanks for the funny story.. Lynn

Hey Lynn, I felt that i was always different because i was fat. Often people try to isolate you and make you feel different for any number of reasons....i just didn't want to add one to the list. I want to be thin and "normal" blending into the crowd for once in my life. NOT Thin and "the guy who had the DS". I joke around with saying i pulled a star jones, but the reality is I can understand why she did it. Look at the scrutiny Al Roker and Carnie Wilson have faced. Poor Carnie has really been raked over the coals first for advocating WLS, then for gaining weight after having WLS. Esp. when she joined celebrity fit club....by the way do you know how she did on it? I never watch that show, the "instructors" make me want to vomit up my lunch. On a side note although nothing against star, i think she looked much better overweight then she does now (my personal opinion). Scott
