Yesterday I went to a grad party down the street. I was there for a while before anyone talked to me, I did find another neighbor that just had lap band done and was chatting with her and thinking that my host sure was busy to not even say hi!!! Then it started. Is that you? Holy cow! You've changed so much! Nobody knew who I was!!! One woman even asked DH if I was coming ~~~ LMAO! This is still unsettling to me as I feel like the same "person" but even I have to admit that I glance when I walk by a reflection that I sometimes dont really recognize it as me-LOL~~ So, if someone doesnt talk to you, it may be that they don't know who you are!!! Don't be offended

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.

I know this is such a good feeling. I just came back from visiting my family who hadn't seem me in a yr and a relative just kept staring at me with an open mouth he couldn't believe it was really me.

Woohoo! That is awesome. I had a similar experience with people at a family wedding. Not because I lost a tremendous amount of weight but because I put make up on and dressed up ( I am a total tomboy until adulthood). I was wondering why no one was speaking to me and then finally someone said "Oh my God, I didn't know it was you Esha." I don't know if I should have been offended or happy.
