Thanks guys. Yeah, it takes all kinds and though it floored me that she asked I really was ok with it. I had picked up down in the coffee shop that her husband was having wls. She had stopped to talk to family in the coffee shop and announced that they were able to do her husband's bypass. They don't do heart bypass at my hospital campus so I knew she was talking wls. I guess they had run into some major difficulties and the doctor wasn't even sure he could do the surgery at all so I suspected she was stressed. One of the reasons I started up a converstation with her when I saw her later.
I just wanted to know who had posted the sign on me!!! 
hehehe...one thing I've noticed about myself lately is that comments about my body just don't seem to bother me as much. I guess I wear my war scars against MO with pride.
