I just went to see my PCP for my first appointment since my gastric bypass a year ago. I was down 200lbs and he was thrilled. He then requested that I stop telling people that I have had GB. The reason he said was others assume that having weight loss surgery is taking the easy road and the work isn't as hard. I have heard this several times. He asked me "Do you eat right?", "Exercise regularly?" then you are doing the work. You could easily choose the wrong foods and decide to be lazy. So with his advice I am no longer sharing my history unless I feel led. He is right, I am constantly aware of what I am eating, drinking and supplementing with because I care about my health and I want to be the best me. I just wish I had received his advice pre-bypass.
