Thanks for the encouragement. I have told just my family (2 daughters and a husband) and the 3girls that I directly supervise so they don't worry when I have the operation. They are all happy for me. I just don't know if I want to tell anyone else. Did you let anyone know?

Hi hfricke, I just learned of my surgery date September 10 and I haven't told anyone except 1 friend. My husband knows but he doesn't really want me to have it done but it has been a long time since I've felt good about myself. My chlosterol has jumped pretty high in the last year and haven't felt well. Had a car wreck several years ago, and a really bad back to go with it. Just go with it I know exactly how you feel,everybody is really nice and try to keep you up so let us know how everything is coming along, Diana

I just told my family and a few close friends and my boss who couldn't keep it to himself, but I didn't worry about it

Tell whoever you feel comfortable telling and don't worry about anyone else.

In my experience if you tell one person everyone else finds out eventually *LOL* Plus, once you lose a significant amount of weight most people ask you if you had WLS.

So how did the surgery go? How are you feeling 2 weeks out? I hope it went smoothly and you are recovering a the right pace.

Thinking about you and hoping everything went smoothly Hopefully you will be out of the hospital and on your way to a whole new life. Let me know how everything is turning out for you.
