I am same age and close to same bmi...just had my sleeve on the 12th. I too did not tell anyone but very close family (for the help) and a couple friends. I feel that people that don't have to deal with weight issues and everything else I have gone through my entire life will never understand any of it. The ones I told are most supportive and it still feels like a great decision.

Hi everyone! I've recently been cleared for surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) and arranged a date of 26th September. Very excited! I'm 31, have a BMI of 35, and single. I've tried (and failed) to lose weight for the past 16 years. Same story as everyone else - I lose 20 lbs and put 30 back on.
I've not told anyone about the surgery, and I don't plan to. I just think that people will think I'm taking the easy way out. No one else in my family has any weight issues, and I know they just think I'm lazy for being so fat. I'm definitely going ahead with the surgery, but wanted to know if anyone else had done it without telling anyone? I just can't be bothered with them judging me!

Are you on any kind of acid reflux medication? Some people say that acid mimics hunger.
I'm about three weeks post-op and not hungry at all. Mentally I want the taste of various foods--almost anything that isn't a freaking Protein shake--but not hungry at all. And anytime I measure anything to eat--3 or 4 ounces--it's too much.
We are, of course, all different. But please check on the acid reflux possibility and then examine whether it's head hunger or actual hunger.
Best of luck.
