I have not been telling anyone either for the same reason. I have been overweight ,now obese, my entire adult life. I am tired of losing and regaining all and then some. Every time I lose 30 lbs, I gain 40 and so on and so on. I am getting my surgery in 4 weeks. I am nervous and looking forward to it at the same time. If I could have done it without this tool, don't you think I would have? It is really no one else's business but mine and my family's. I hate being judged already for being obese, I don't need other people's opinions or comments about getting this type of surgery. Most people think they mean well, but it hurts when they say things unintended or on purpose. It is not the easy way out, it is an extreme sacrifice to give up 85% of your stomach in order to become healthy. One can only imagine how much time I have already spent in the gym, how many salads I have eaten. I am ready once and for all to lose this weight and then maintain, not regain! Good luck to you.
