Your most embarrassing moment as a jolly old fat man
Deffinately too many to recount, but the most embarassing one was when I was out with some friend. You know friends never ever let you live something down when they can rib you.
We were out at a night club. There was this one girl who I thought was very attractive and she was just sitting at the table, kind of dancing in her seat. My buddy says she will dance with you, look she wants to dance, but nobody is asking her.
Nah now way she will dance with me, I don't feel like getting shot down tonight. He says ok tell you what I'm so sure she will dance with you, that I'll buy your drinks if she doesn't.
I walk over and ask her to dance. She very pointedly looked me up and down and then shook her head no. Never even talked to me. It was pretty brutal.
I spent the rest of the night drinking long island iced teas compliments of my buddy. That really sucked, because they still torment me about that. Her facial expressions and mannerisms were just absolutely brutal.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
I've broken a few chairs and have had to deal with my share of rude little rug rats. I figure that two years from now, I'll be skinny. They'll still be ugly and stupid. ( I hope I get a chance to use that one!) I was visiting India on a mission trip a few years ago. We were at a school for blind children when one of them came up and asked (through an interpreter) if she could feel my belly. Maybe someone told her I was fat. It was the most amazing thing. She kind of rubbed my belly, then laid her head against it like she was listening for something. Then, she just put her arms as far around me as she could get and gave me a hug. I have no idea what that was about, but I'll never forget that for the rest of my life.
Chairs big time. Even now (at # 208) my wife doesn't understand the mania-phobia I have toward breaking chairs. After you have broken a few, it really gets inside your head. After breaking a few pre op, I would sit on a small chair and sit in a way that I wouldn't put my whole weight on the chair. Really don't have that problem anymore, but it is still there in the back of my mind. Brian
Broke a chair recovering from WLS. You ever try to get up from right after surgery from a half falling half sitting position.
In 99 I had a sever protein vitamin deficiency from very first WLS. I would be walking and legs would just give out and I could not put any weight on them to stand up. I was teaching college so the students would have to prop me up.
Well the docs didn't know what it was so they sent me to have a test where they shoot electricity down your legs to test nerve responses etc. So that finished and I am coming out of the hospital and I am in front of ER and I step off a curb and down I go. I can't get up. Somebody goes into the Er. NOW I AM NOT THAT BIG I AS ABOUT 270.
Here is the fun part. ER Can't come out. They call the fire department. The fire department sends a truck hook and ladder and an ambulance to put me on a stretcher and wheel me 15 feet into the ER.
I spent 22 days in two hospitals because they thought ihad guillion barre syndrome but is was protein vitamin deficiency. I had to learn how to walk and I was numb from the chest down. I still have neuropathy from time to time
Still remember all the firemen standing around

Great Topic Boner,
My worst moment was on an American Airlines airplane. Here's some history on planes for me. I never had to use extensions. I've always been able to tightly fit into the area given by the airplane. Here's my story: I was on a flight from Dallas to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I was in a row of two seats, mine was the window seat. The lady in the aisle seat was already sitting. I politely ask her to excuse me so that I could sit in my seat. She looked at me and said that we both cannot sit in this row. You're too big. Your butt will spill over into my seat. She got up to let me in, then stormed up to the first class attendant and demanded she be moved. The attendant then asked ME what the problem was. So I said that she's afraid that my big rear might accidently touch her precious seat. As you can see, it does not. Although, after I'm seated I can't move around, or even put my tray down at all. This is the part I'm not proud of, but on the flight she kept leaning my way and trying to look out the window. Every time she would lean over I would close both shades. She then tried to take a nap, every time she would close her eyes, I would open the window shades as wide as I could. Once she was good and awake, I would close them again. I did this the whole flight. About half way through the flight, while she was napping, I "accidently" poured an entire glass of soda on her leg. She yelped so loud the attendant ran to her aid. It really made me smile. The soda really was an accident! Still funny as hell though!

Maybe not the most embarassing but the most recent. I ride a big BMW GS 1200 Adventure bike. One of those Round The World bikes. It is very tall (and re-sprung for my fat ass). Very wide. Just kinda very everything. It is equipped with a huge removable tank bag with map cover that is held on by velcro right above the seat, at the rear of the gas tank..
We were on a long ride about a month before my surgery.
Every time I got on or off or even move on my bike my big belly would knock the velcro loose and the bag would fall off. I'd get off to pick it up (not easy at 388) hook it back on the front then stretch it down to where I'd fasten the velcro. Got on again and the damn thing did it again. And again. Passer-bys would stop for a while and marvel. My skinny riding buddy thought it was hilarious.
I was drawing a crowd. I just ripped the thing off and lashed it to the rear rack.
Had the piece of crap tankbag not cost an arm and a leg I'd have left it where it landed.
