my biggest regret was telling people. i couldnt keep my mouth shut because i was so excited. people often think that when u have weight lose surgery your taking the easy way out. Making the decision to get the lap band was very hard, i should of kept it between me and close family. I have a friend that had the surgery and didn"t lose any weight, coworkers took great pleasure in comparing my sucess to hers. Dont tell ur coworkers its none of their buisness. When the weight comes off take the compliments and if they ask tell them weight watchers.
