Should I tell family and friends about me geting lapband and if so how do I tell them im kinda scared to let people know i dont want hear them

It's always your decision to include certain people or not. My immediate family knows and some close freinds only. In time others will be included.

It will be hard to have everybody you tell, Like YOUR decision. Too bad! To each his/her own.

Best wishes and Be Positive.

I have told 6 people, mother, sister, 2 friends who will be very supportive and my boss and coordinator, that is it............nobody else needs to know and I don't need to be explaining myself to anyone else nor do I need people watching me to see if 'it works'.

if you (dont want to hear them) then dont tell them. some tell only a couple people, some like me tell just about everyone i know. basically as my friend rojo says, its your decision. this is about you making yourself well. what is that saying a about assholes, everyone has one (same with opinions).

i wish you all the luck in the world. stay on this forum for support. i am sure glad i did

So true guys i only told 8 people and one of them is my mom at first was like u need to loss wright and now that i told her im doing the lapband she doesn't want me to loss wright but i told her i didnt care wat she want cuz its my life and my health
