I'm post-op 10/26. I lost 34lbs pre surgery and 15 post.
I have a different take on the communication aspect. I told everybody and I was grateful that I did. I have gotten so much support both pre and post surgery and I feel like all that would have happened if I hadn't been vocal was other people's speculation. I'd rather control my own narrative. I even blog about my experiences and have since 2011. Www.lifeinsidetheblubbersarcophagus.blogspot.com.
Congrats on your pre-op victory! It's your journey, make it your own!
