Tell him you lost weight by taking a high intensity crotch kicking class, then show him what you've learned.

I told my parents I was having a procedure done on my back, just so in case something went wrong they wouldn't be blindsided. They live 2000 miles away. I told nobody else I was even going to be in the hospital. Nobody's business.

I was loving the grits.

Nope, you are not the only one. I happily told zero people and I'm so glad. I don't have the stress of anyone looking at my progress and asking for updates. This is not a show, it's my life. The two people I would've shared this with, is no longer on this earth. BTW, at my pre op appt the nurse asked who would be with me on the day of surgery and I told her no one. I then told her no one new I was having the surgery. I asked her if she had anyone besides me not tell anyone. She replied " several".

Yep, it gets better pretty quickly. I found the during the first week, I felt a constriction where whatever I drank seemed to have trouble negotiating the curve into my stomach. Then in the second week, I felt constriction higher up in my chest, followed by gurgling when stuff released into my stomach. In both cases, my doctor's office attributed it to post-surgery swelling. Once that goes down, things get more like what will be your new "normal" going forward. Now at 4 months out, I get occasional gurgling when I drink something too soon after eating and it has to negotiate it's way through the food. But it's more amusing than anything else. Remember, you are healing right now, and things are going to feel a little weird for a couple of more weeks. Good luck on your journey!

I just had my sleeve this morning. I'm lying in the hospital bed, feeling quite good actually. Minimal pain, some gas in my shoulder that subsided a bit when I took a walk. I hope I continue to feel ok. I had a short bout of nausea earlier but my doc is managing it well. The staff here is wonderful, and despite my pre surgery meltdown this morning, I'm glad I did this (so far. We'll talk again when they take away the morphine).

Coby..
I understand your feeling completely. I was in the same boat. Of course you're nervous.
Breathe and know that you're going to be in wonderful hands. Let the doctors and nurses take care of you, and cater to your needs and try to remove the worry.
We're all here for you and speaking first hand, you're going to do fantastic and this part will be over in a jiffy.

I'm using Uber. The hospital is very close to my house and they're keeping me overnight. I have a friend close by who can come check on me when she gets back to town on Tuesday. I'm in good hands. :-)

I just let my family know I'm having surgery, and I feel much better. I will update here as well. Thank you for the kind words.

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow and am super nervous. My family is back east and I haven't told any of my friends out here so I'm going it alone. My doctor is wonderful, so I'm not too worried about the procedure itself, but would appreciate good vibes sent my way!

Is there someone you trust enough to tell so that they can support you through this? My surgery in on Tuesday and the reality of it all just set in. I know this will not be easy to adjust to but it's what I need for me. I told my loved ones last night that I needed there support because the first few weeks might be difficult for me. Always remember that you have all of us on this forum for support as well. At least we will be able to relate to your experience with weight loss surgery. Please keep us updated on how your doing. ????????

I'm new to posting here, and I feel like this thread is a good place to start. For me, the straw was moving to beautiful Colorado and not being able to do all of the fun things here I want to do. I go hiking alone because I'm embarrassed that I'm so much slower than all of my fit friends. I'm uncomfortable in the seats at ball games and concerts. I can't go skiing because ski boots won't close around my legs. I don't go out because I don't want to be looked at. I've lost and gained too many pounds to count. I quit smoking earlier this year and put on another 15. I have constant back pain and get winded walking up a flight of stairs. But mostly, I'm tired of being tired. Okay, that's more than one straw. I received my insurance green light today and I'm scheduled for sleeve surgery next Monday the 27th. I'm excited, and scared, and happy to be here learning and getting inspired by you all.
