Who have you told and not told about your weight loss surgery?

What do you say when people say "You look great - how'd you do it?"

And on an unrelated note, what do you say to waiters and waitresses who think you hated your meal?

I've told my mom, sister, 3 of my best friends and a coworker (she had the surgery a month before i did). I havent told my babies dad or his brother (we all live in the same house). They just know I had a hiatal hernia repair. I figure I will start letting people know once im a bit farther down the journey, I plan on starting a blog too so its not like Im ashamed, I just dont feel like dealing with any negativity if i can avoid it.

My weight loss is a struggle and the Lapband is a tool. I share with any and everyone. My banding has encouraged others to consider WLS.

i told my hub (and a few close friends).......did have to tell some people at work (the HR, the VP who i did NOT want to tell because its private and the VP tends to run her mouth to other employees about (so called private stuff)...i would have preferred hub not to tell his mom/dad but he did and oh well...i have been lucky to have a good support unit with friends/family...as for waiters etc...i do not eat out (only once since banded) and when we did it was no big deal. as for food left over, kudo's to the ole man as he'd never leave anything left behind..as he said, he paid for it, he be eating it. silly....

*if someone says, my you look awesome or have lost weight, how are you doing it? tell the truth....i am eating better food and exercising. no need to go into details unless you want too. just my opinion.
