    Congrats on your surgery date and lots of prayers coming your way. I also chose to tell just a very few people (my mom, my hubby, and my kids), and after sugery and I was stronger, the first person I told said to me, "cheater" . . . and THAT is why I chose to not tell people! But by then I was stronger and could handle it. Each person has to do what works for her. God bless and best wishes.

    You know your family & friends best, so if you choose not to tell that isn't weird at all. Everybody takes a different route on this journey. I will pray for you also & all the best.

    The only person in my life that knows is my husband!! My friends think I just had abdominal surgery... and my family ( who do not live close ) do not know anything! This was the best decision.. becuase I know that I am not prepared for any negative comments.. so even though I feel bad that i told a little lie.. I am so happy I do not have to explain anything.. And I have started to get some compliments on the weight loss.. and I just thank them and tell them I am working on it. Here is the kicker.. My mom came down last week.. and did not say anything to me about my weight loss!!! WHen she has been my biggest critique!!! Now 25lbs is hard not to notice!!! At the end of the weekend visit.. it just proved to me that I made the right decision!!!

    Hello,

    I just started the process and I don't plan on telling my family or my co-worker either. I don't want to hear all the comments..
