I told four people: mom, sister, brother, and husband.
My husband was great. He said he knew how unhappy my weight made me, and he just wanted me to happy.
Brother said he didn't approve, but it's my life, my body. Then he never brought it up again.
Mom had an employee who had RNY, lost 200 lbs, ended up a size 16 and suffers from anemia. Mom said, 'Don't do it! You'll still be fat, and you'll be sick on top of it!" But she dropped it and never brought it up again.
Sister, though, really hurt me. She was furious. She refused to even speak with me for two months after surgery, and to this day our relationship isn't the same. She makes mean comments to me, excludes me, and avoids me. She used to be my best friend.
I wouldn't change anything about getting the surgery, though. I am so much happier, even with losing that relationship.
