I though about not telling my friends but it seems to hard to hold that big of a secret forever. I just told my family and friends and it went much better then I expected. I do understand not wanting to tell anyone, but if you do it may turn out better then you expected. Silver lining is you get to see who your real friends are.
I started my research 6 months ago and finally decided on the sleeve. I am 210 lbs and 5 foot tall. I have just finished my nutrition visit and psyc eval. Now just waiting on insurance. Only snag my be 3 month supervised diet. When I first started the process I called HR and she stated I did not need one on our plan and showed me the webpage with the prerequisites and no 3 month diet needed but bsbc rep said I did need one. So Dr is going to submit the papers and see what happens. Why is it so hard for everyone to be on the same page!! Crossed fingers!!!!!
