You didn't do it.

I'm wondering why people who get their stomach stapled think they lost the weight on their own.

I know a woman personally who has her stomach stapled. I told her my sister in law had lost over 200 pounds.. by cutting calories... ON HER OWN! Staples said "Well I lost over 100 in a year!" and I thought.. "Well, yeah.. but you had the gastric bypass... so of COURSE you lost weight... this was actually a STRUGGLE for my sister in law."

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying they shouldn't have the surgery. By all means.. whatever you have to. Whatever you want to.. whatever works...

What confuses me, is how the person who got the surgery seems to think a few things..

Maybe they're delusional.

Let me make a few truths known:

Truth #1. You didn't earn this.

Like I said, somehow there people think they have lost all the weight on their own. Being of their OWN "willpower" and working hard to lose all that weight.

Lets face it.

You went to a Doctor. You convinced them to cut you open and make your stomach small.. and then sew you back up. You didn't even have to be AWAKE for this, let alone do anything.

Truth #2. You look like shit.

People who have the surgery have to get surgery AGAIN later on, to get rid of the saggy baggy. They look GAUNT besides...

The woman who I happen to know personally, has terrible flab arms..and not sag skin on the arms.. FATNESS on it.. still.... and her boobs are disgusting hanging sacks of wrinkled skin.. looking as though they have sand in the bottom of the skin sacks... and her face looks terrible as well... she keeps wearing skimpy things and she really shouldn't be wearing skimpy things...

Compared to what she USED to weigh, sure, she's MUCH "thinner" but to the "untrained" eye... she's still a fat pig... and she doesn't need to be wearing what she's wearing... after all, hot pants are not a right.. they're a privilege.



Truth #3. You didn't do this for "health reasons" and we all know it.

Since you have medical problems, this that and the other, you qualify.. but lets face it... your back, hip, diabetes is bothering you now more than ever because your insurance will pay if you qualify medically.

You want to look better.. and who doesn't??? But lets stop lying to ourselves *although it would be a good idea to keep lying to your medical insurance provider*



And finally Truth #4... Now that you did this, you might want to give up the sweats.

I can't believe the amount of people who work with me who went to ALL the "trouble" and "work" and "effort" to get the gastric bypass.... only to wear shitty ugly mom clothes and do nothing with that mousy hair! Put some fucking make up on! Take some pride in yourself! You lost some weight! And no, I don't want you to pull out the miniskirt, but how about losing the jeans with the elastic waist?

Wash your hair?

Something.
