Thank you.

I am still very early in the process. I am hoping to have my surgery mid November. I have gone back and forth with this issue and I just haven't made up my mind what to do yet. Of course the members of my household know I am considering it and they are pretty supportive but I think about how my other family members will react. They have never really supported me in important matters before so I am unsure what to do. I have to tell them something because my niece is my boss and I doubt I can just get by with telling her I need a week off for "surgery".
Some days I am very determined that when the time gets closer I will tell them, at least I will tell my mother then I won't have to inform the rest of them as she will have already done it lol.
I know I have time to decide but it does weigh heavily on me.

At work, I have told some people and not others. I'm in the process of switching departments at work which complicates things a bit. More people in the old department know than the new one. I figure once the surgery is scheduled, I'll tell everyone.
The only person who hasn't been very supportive so far is my sister. She's a low fat, low calorie that's the way to go type person. I've lost weight before doing higher Protein and good carbs and she questioned that. She's going through a rough time so I am being really supportive of her but I'm not feeling the love. I sent an email update to the siblings and she didn't respond. I sent her another update after my last doctor's appointment and asked how things were going with her. She responded to the question about how stuff was going but ignored the other stuff. Hey, at least she isn't outwardly attacking the idea.
My younger brother is my cheerleader right now. He's getting ready to start his own bariatric journey, too.
