This weekend I'll be going to a cousin's wedding reception (she had a destination wedding several weeks ago) and my family reunion. It'll be the first time I've seen most of my extended family since surgery, so I'm sure it'll be an experience, to say the least. (It's also going to be freaking HOT -- 94-95 degrees, with both events primarily outdoors).

I'm just glad I'm not the first person in my family to have had bariatric surgery -- one of my cousins (mother of the bride, actually) had gastric bypass nine years ago, so most of my family is at least familiar with the surgery/what it entails/the effects (and they all know I was having it, because I didn't keep it a secret).
