A.C.E of Hearts

It's a relief to know others have decided to keep their surgery private.

I told My husband and My Aunt. Haven't told my children age 13/10. My Daughter is recovering from weight issues so her therapist thought it was best not to at this stage.

Finally told my Mother in law. Didn't tell her prior she would of worried too much.

I have told a handful of co workers/friends. So far they are very supportive and keeping it private. I don't expect forever. If I had it to do over I wouldn't tell them. I will always have to worry if they decide to share my secret. One of BFF told one our co workers and I pleaded her to respect my privacy. Like I posted on FB if you want a secret to remain a secret only tell God. I had surgery in December and have lost 33 lbs. Very satisfied. I didn't want my job to know because I feel people don't understand. They think you are taking the easy way out. I didn't want people looking at me like an experiment.. like what is she eating? can she eat that? how much weight has she lost? etc...

I can already tell how much better I feel since the weightloss. I can walk without getting out of breath. My clothes are getting loose and I am exercising again.

Had my second fill - have some difficulty eating : ( waiting to see if it improves. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. it helps

Hi

Your post sounds familar. I started pre op the day before Thanksgiving. I had to have a hernia repaired during band surgery. And yes, I woke up with alot of pain in my chest... ow ow ow & ow. My sweet hubby felt so helpless in recovery with me. But my surgery was out patient. I think most of my discomfort was from the hernia. Congrats on the 12 lbs. I haven't weighed myself yet. Surgery date Dec 6. Look forward to your future post.

Good luck.
