This is the comment I got when I told my boss that I was going to have WLS. I thought I was the only one that got frustrated by that. It made me feel like I was being vain to be going through with this. There are a lot of women at my workplace that would be candidates for the surgery, my boss included, and I guess maybe they do see me as being vain but I want this for my health and they don't have any clue what my health issues are. All they see is the outside and I can't see how they could think I wasn't big enough... I mean, once your over 250 how can anyone dare say such a thing?
