- I too decided not to tell anyone at my job of my decision, for exactly

the same reasons as you! I had the MGB on 6/7/00, and all I have to say now

is.... " THE BEST REVENGE IS LIVING WELL!!! " ...because at least once a day someone

comes up to me and says, " -- you look terrific! Did you cut your hair? "

Today someone actually asked me if I had " plucked my eyebrows or something?!?!? "

In other words - my face looks better without the 30 pounds I've lost sitting on

it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The witchy women I work with are all a little plump

themselves, but I made the mistake of bringing up the subject of weight loss

surgery with them once and was ridiculed, belittled and the idea was treated

with such contempt that I knew I could never admit that I was having this done

myself. SO, I keep my mouth shut (except while I'm eating my lean cusines!) and

let them think what they want. But I have to admit that I do get great

satisfaction from the look on their faces everytime someone says how FABULOUS

I'm looking today!!!!!!! Do what's best for you - and believe me - the rewards

will follow!

Good Luck!

, Can you handle the Lean Cusines okay? I eat them two or

three days a week now at work and I love them. They are also

convenient, quick, etc. I, for some reason, thought we couldn't have

them after surgery. Maybe the size ofthem. Do you eat a whole one?

Congratulations on the weight loss. I'm still yan-yanning with bcbs.

Hope to have surgery soon!
