Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
ok this morning i was minding my own business n this older guy that also had gastric bypass stops me and asks how i am doing...i tell him im wonderful...so then he starts telling me he needs to lose 40 more pounds and then he is getting a body tuck or atleast lipo on his breast and tummy tuck...im like ok..so he says am i going to do the same...im like NO, i don't need any of that, i workout and i hardly have a tummy even after 5 babies....he said o yeah you will need one after you lose all the weight you want...so i say NO i will not...im like cant he see i already don't have rolls like that...i have to toot my own horn, because i was always curvy in all the right places when i was fatter and everyone is built different and i was just lucky to be built the way i am....the nerve of him to tell me what i am going to need just because he needs that....the only issue i have is with my arms and i lift weights 3 to 5 days a week to get them together...i am not just depending on the surgery as he stated he does...i just smh and sashayed my hips down the hall...humph...
Breathe. People are straight up ignorant. No one can tell you what you need to do or how to do it. What may happen to someone may not happen to the next. We all start at different levels (height, weight, BMI, and so on). This is honestly not worth your time or aggravation. There is always someone that has to have the last word. You kill him with kindness and keep strutting your stuff. No need to justify yourself to someone who clearly isn't worth your time. You just keep focusing on you.
I wasn't paying him any attention...he looks a hot mess either way so it doesn;t matter what he does...and yes everyone starts off differently and will end up different...he is a math teacher and he should know that....I KNOW I AM A "10" N A 16 PANT....and it's just been four months. LOL, i am crazy!
You hang in there and keep doing what you are doing. He can't tell what is going on under your clothes anyway. Besides, he just might be one of those know it all type of people.

lol it all in the attitude
It's great that you are lucky, but not everyone is. I'm lucky enough to really only have a problem with my thighs....but it's still a problem.
