Is anyone else out there keeping it from friends and possibly family? So far only 4 people know my brother my parents and my boyfriend. I have two main friends that I work with and idk I guess I feel like they will judge me and say I'm taking the easy way out. I'm still thinking of a life as to what surgery I'm having to get 2 weeks off from work. Luckily i don't need doctor notes. Should I bother telling my friends. The only reason I see me telling them is if they keep trying to shove food down my throat. Also they are both health freaks now and one friend has tried to help me loose weight but basically gave up. HELP

First off thank you for responding. And oh no you give me all the tmi. Lol I'm one to research everything and although I hear everyone's story I can't help but feel scared. I just want to hit a fast forward button and get to a couple months after my surgery date

My boyfriend and I have been talking about it and I feel like he has lots of fears which makes me have fear too. We share a relationship with food we go out to eat all the time and it saddens me when I think about us not doing it as much.

I was considering the lap band and after talking to my doctor he basically talked me into the sleeve. I'm terrified of the long term affect and focusing way too much on me breaking up with food rather then being excited for a healthier future. Words of encouragement would be great! Ps I'm calling all my doctors for the clearance before surgery 2 down 2 more to go.
