This is YOUR decision, not anyone elses. When I decided I had one friend who said....Well just pretend to have the band and eat like you have it. Now we all know that does not work or else I would not have been 110 pounds overweight!
This is a decision for you and you alone. Pray over it, what is your true desire? Are you ready for the changes this will make in your life? Are you willing to make the mental changes it will take to live with the band? Nobody can answer those questions but you!
I do think you will be pushing it if you try to work that weekend. It took me a week to not sleep most of the day. Don't put yourself at risk of slippage or hurting yourself because you are trying to hide the surgery. It's not worth it and can cause many other issues. So please, please think about that seriously.
I too was overweight all my life. I was the overweight kid always getting picked on. Most of the time people would guess my weight wrong as well. So I know how that feels. I was 280 when I started this journey and currently I am 182 with only about 10-15lbs to goal. I do not regret my decision but I also was very ready in the head for it.
I suggest you go into your prayer closet and meditate and talk to God. This is not an easy decision to make but regardless of what you decide you will have to be "ok" with the results.
I wish you much love and many blessings and I am going to say a prayer for you today as well.
