  1. I completely agree with you. I felt that if I was ashamed of it, i shouldn't do it. Ive told people about it and also educate them at the same time. Most people have no clue. And what's funny to me is, I get more negativity from overweight people. My friends that are healthy are excited for me and support me. I NEED a support system, and keeping my surgery a secret would not create that.
  2. Im 250 but hold my weight pretty well, i went into my clinic today for a pre op appointment and a patient in the waiting room asked how much ive lost with my surgery. When i told them i hadnt had it yet i got the "look" it really bothered me. She doesn't know my story....so now im judged by thin people AND overweight people. But ill try to take it as a complement even though it has kinda messed with my head now
  3. November 18th! But....i haven't heard from my insurance yet...nerve racking
