Unfortunately, people have strong opinions about WLS. I am not ready for stereotypes or people who are misinformed. I told one person the night before my surgery and she begged me not to have it done. Little did she know.... This has been a lifelong journey and an 11 year process trying to get insurance approval. My closest friend knows and my immediate family knows. That's about it. I realized that telling people doesn't help me with accountability it actually hinders me. I spent energy that I shouldn't have had to, being frustrated the night before surgery. I am 2 weeks post op tomorrow and have lost 13 lbs.
