Going Public

4 months post-op now. Still loving my sleeve. The weight is steadily coming off and people around me are amazed. I decided this month to start telling some of my friends and co-workers about the surgery. So far, most of the reactions are supportive. Of course, what's being said behind my back I'll never know! Nor do I care! This decision to go public was made because I feel great about myself, and honestly, I'm tired of keeping it to myself. It's too good not to share! One of my co-workers even pulled me aside crying cause she is so down on herself about her weight and has been researching the band. I referred her to our wonderful website and introduced her to the sleeve. Now I can be an advocate. And that I love!

I feel the same way about telling people about my surgery and amazing results. I don't mind sharing, and have had nothing but positive. I've even found a couple of people ask me who I went to, and how the entire process went.

You're doing so great, and so many wonderful things are to come to you in the future ! ! !

That's great! You are doing such a wonderful job and should feel very proud.

I'm actually quite surprised that over the last couple of weeks a couple of different people actually commented that they were really proud of what I've accomplished so far because they see how hard I have been working at it. I'm loving the positive feedback as well!
