I have only told my husband and mom. I would like to tell the rest of my family because we are all usually pretty open with one another. But I am the only fat one of my siblings and I don't trust that my in-laws wouldn't gossip with everyone (my husband has a couple of family members who had gastric bypass and everyone constantly asks about them!)
I'm still waiting for my insurance approval, but I am confident it will come through soon as I spoke with Blue Cross about it and they pre-approved based on doctor's opinion. Frankly, I am scared that this won't work. I have tried so many diets in the past and was unsuccessful or ained the weight, plus some, back. I am so glad I found this forum because reading what everyone else has experienced really helps me become a little optomistic. I know I have a thin, fit person inside of me- she just needs a little help coming out!
