Question Anyone get "felt on"?

I went to some friends anniversary party last nite and when I came in the door I couldn't even have a regular conversation with anyone cause people kept coming up to me and commenting on my weight loss. I apprecieated the kind words and compliments but it seemed like everyone had to give me a hug. This was weird to me cause it kinda gave me the feeling they were checking to see how much of me was still there or something. It is crazy sounding I know, but even people who aren't "huggy" came up and did it, kinda like they wanted to know what was under the shirt I had on??? Maybe to see if I was really that much smaller or was it a girdle???? Maybe I am being paranoid????

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.

it happends. i have had people grab my arms or wrists (to check out the boniness) or people hug me who would normally be at least 10 feet away. it comes with it. i deal with each case individually being that i am not a "touchy" kinda person, i usually pull away real quick lol.

LOL...I dont think I will have a problem with it after my surgery ! Its always been that way with me ! Im 6 ft 6 and I love getting hugs, I love giving hugs ! I wrote a post about going to my wifes Christmas party and it was today. There was this elderly Italian Couple that works with my wife and Ive always gotting along with. I only see them at Christmas partys actually . Anyway...the subject of my upcoming surgery came up and the Italian gentlemen before he left came up to me and said... "Ill be praying for you" ... Then he gave me a big huge hug . Then I got another one from his wife . Its strange in a way...they didnt hug anybody else but me. I felt very over whelmed ... HUGS are GREAT !!!!

Here in Hawaii its custom to hug everyone when greeting them. It was strange for me at first but 4 years later and I am use to all the hugs....Its cool now though cuz people can wrap arms aroud me instead of me being so fluffy

yeah there are days I get 'touched out'...I tend to stay more aloof now with this new job. But man oh man people do tend to get all 'feely' once you've lost a chunk of the excess.
