  1. I have two weight loss procedures...one non-surgical (ESG) I only told one person because the doctor insisted I have someone with me following the procedure. It really wasn't necessary, but if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have told anyone. You can guarantee that someone will tell someone and before you know it.....
    I had a sleeve in mid March, no one knows at all...those who knew I was going in for surgery, I told them I was having gall bladder surgery. It helped that my surgery was was of state and I travelled solo.
    Because of the time off for surgery and then working from home most of the time, and the social isolation at the moment, I haven't seen that many people for then to question what may seem like sudden weight loss. If anyone asks I will be telling them I lost a little weight before surgery (true) and have kept up the healthy eating habits and exercise since then (also true).
    It must be awful going into a workplace that is like that...such culture is driven from the top down, must be some terrible people there.

    Telling coworkers is not an good idea. I did my surgery last June and I didn't tell them as any thing. They notice I loosing weight. I told them the same. I don't cares about anyone

  2. Hi All
    i have gastric sleeve surgery booked for October 14th. I live in UK but as I’m paying for my own surgery I’m having it done in Turkey.
    I’ve spent a lot of time researching the hospital and surgeons but I’m pretty nervous.
    My mum is coming as moral support.
    I haven’t found the pre-op diet easy - I have a busy, job that’s rather stressful and last week I had a few days where I felt weak and faint.
    Hopefully all will go well with the surgery- I will update you all then. It’s been great reading about other people’s experiences.

    Good luck for your surgery
    I did mind in June I lost 31 lbs.
