Brandy-Once you tell one person more than likely everyone else will find out eventually *LOL* Just share with the people you feel the most comfortable with because they will probably want to know more of the details. As for work, you don't have to be that specific. Your surgeon can be very general about why you need time off from work and is not required to divulge any details regarding the surgery. I know soemone whose doctor said she was having her appendix removed rather than a gastric bypass. Do what you feel most comfortable with, you owe it to yourself.
