    How do you tell your friends?

    I'm just in the stage with my doctor about getting started with all the before operation stuff. I had my blood taken 2 weeks ago and my doc phoned my house tonight and told me to call tomorrow because i wasn't home. I hope it's about doing more stuff for the surgery and not something really wrong with my blood (wish me luck). I have only told my parents I'm doing this and am not sure i'll tell anyone else. I'm really having a hard time deciding whether or not I should tell my best friend. She is more like a sister to me, we've known each other since gr.one and she has lived with me for the past 4 years. I'm 18 and we're both in college, she is now renting a room at my brother's house while going to college and we don't see each other as much as we want to. I know she will be really supportive and won't tell anyone but sill... The reason I'm sure if I want to tell her,or anyone else is because I don't want them to have some expectation of what I should be like after surgery. I want want to have expectations for myself and for myself, I'm not doing this for anyone else but me. I want my life! I fell like I've missed the last 12 years because of my weight. I can't remember the last time I looked in a mirror and even remotely liked the person looking back. Does anybody else feel this way? I feel like I can never have a good time and let loose because of my weight (305 currently). I feel like everyone is always staring at me. I want to be able to go into a store and not have to go to the plus size section to buy clothes...anyways should I tell her?
  2. how did your surgery go? I haven't set a date yet and am a candidate, but my doc says I should try other methods first. I know this is what i want, and will have no regrets doing it. My doc says that most people who get this done experience heart burn. Have you had any? I've never had it, so I don't know what it feels like.
