A successful, happy, and confident post-bariatric weight loss surgery patient was attending a function with her husband of many years. Also present was a close friend of the couple, however, one that had not seen the ‘new’ wife for quite some time. The couple was perplexed at the cold and what they considered to be a stand-offish attitude of their dear friend.
“He just seemed bothered and wouldn’t look me in the eye!” claimed the lady. “There was definitely something wrong, but neither my husband nor I could begin to think what it could be.”
Since the odd behavior continued throughout the evening, the following day the gentleman took matters into his own hands, called the fellow and pointedly asked him what he or his wife had done or said to offend him.
After a long pause, he said, “I’ve known you and your wife for a long time and you need to understand I think highly of her. I did not appreciate you bringing your girlfriend last night.”
Imagine the mileage our patient is going to get out of this story!
