Talking Great WLS quotes ...

I was looking at myself in the mirror recently while shaving, and a snatch of lyrics popped into my mind. As I thought about them, I figured that there must be a huge number of quotes from songs, movies, books, etc. that could be taken (out of context) that talk about weight loss surgery and its results.

This quote is from the Beatles song "Yesterday". " ... suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be ...".

Anyone think of any others? You don't have to be too exact, as long as you can twist so it appears to apply. Let's hear 'em, folks!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

"whatcha gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk?" I definitely don't have near as much junk in the trunk as I used to!

I don't know if that really counts, but it's all that came to mind!

It is definitely in the spirit of this thread! We should have fun with this! I think there is great potential out there for misquoting and mangling lyrics to twist them to apply to WLS!!
