SO ANGRY I COULD SPIT!!!

So I was at work last night and a client came in and wanted to see me next week!! ( they are very good clients and I see them very often and we are very friendly)  so I explained I cant I wont be in for a week or so..( MY SURGERY IS 4/8) . and she kept pushing why why why!!! so I finally said I have to go in for a small procedure!!! with that are you ok is everything ok!!! and of course I said yes IM fine!!! and with enough pushing I spilled the beans and told her!!!  well she was so happy and excited for me and wished me best of luck and told me about friends that had it also and how great it was for them!!!   AND THEN!!!!! this moring just 30 mins ago she came in and said KELLY I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!!! I said ok whats up, I then heard how she was up all night last night and how upset she is at me and that she thinks Im making a huge mistake and that I will regret it when Im older and have all kinds of complectations ....and then came WHY ARE YOU TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT!!!!  just diet....

Well that didnt sit well with me... so I said are you serious I have thought long and hard about this I  Have done tons of research , and as for EASY way out!!! Ummmmm I dont think so Im getting my stomaach cut open and having surgery!! explain how thats easy!!! IM sorry I was very nice and tried to explain my reasons ( not that I owed it to her) Now Im just at my desk brewing !! so I need to vent !!!! EASY REALLY .... DUHHHHHH  NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry this happened to you. It's always frustrating to deal with people who have no idea what goes into the entire WLS process. A few of us had the same conversation a few days ago. 

In the end, it's YOUR decision. Not your friends', not your family's, and certainly not this lady's. You have your reasons for doing this and it's no one else's damn business beyond that unless YOU want it to be.

F#$% that bi#$!

Next time, just say (with a smile), "Thanks for the feedback".  And if they continue, say it again.  Don't justify what you're doing - it's like explaining a moon landing to an ant.  They're never gonna get it, so why try?

^ THIS. I like this ;)

Thank you all!!! I feel a little Better Now!!  :-)

Hi Kelly, i am so glad you are feeling better. It might have been her own fear, not yours. IIt took me a year to make the leap. I havent scheduled my surgery yet, but it will be hopefully in June. I wi**** was me April 8!! Hope to hear from you afterwards.

how annoying. and in a business relationship you can't just tell her to take a hike.   but she will be eating crow when you are slim.   wonder how many calories crow has?  gl with your surgery. you will not regret losing weight and getting healthy.  there is nothing easy about losing weight by whatever means.  why not  use the best tool available.    diane

maybe she is just scared for you

 sometimes it just best with some people to just tell them your having your gallbladder put , that will also explain the change in diet , many surgeons put there gallbladder patients on special diets 

Thats what Ill say from now on!!!! Thank you !!
