My best friend for 40 years doesn't know I am getting the band tomorrow. She lives in the next state and we email each other every day. A month ago I mentioned I was thinking about getting the band. Her email back was mostly small talk then at the end she said she didn't know whatthat was. I sent her some info and gave her a little bit of a descriotion and asked her notto tell anyone. She replied back notto worry she wouldn't tell anyone.

And that's where the story ends. She never mentioned another word and neither did I. I just didn't find her that much interested in it (she' s normal sized). It's not a jealousy thing-trust me it's not. Either she doesn't approve or simply isn't interested, or doesn't think I am that serious. So it feels weird going in and she doesn't even know. We don't see each other that often (maybe once every 2 months). Should I send an email letting her know or just wait till I see her next time ?

I would tell her. If it is not about jealousy or disapproval, then it is not a big deal. Your just sharing a very big event with your best friend.

I would not tell her,I would let it be a surprise when she see you again you might be 40lbs lighter, now that will make you happy when everyone tells you how GOOD you look .GOOD LUCK YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!

I wrote her an email and told her-then right before I sent it I deleted the part about the lapband surgery. I like the element of surprise and I'll simply say to her "Well I did mention that I was going to get this done"

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
