Well in 23 more days i will be a sleevey with the rest of you lovely bunch. Now my question is how did you tell your pcp? i want to tell him. i mean he knows i wanted it and we talk about it for a year and when i fnd out my insurence just covers the rny i left it alone for a while. when i find out about mexico i decide on a doctor and everything and i'm all set to go..........now how do i tell him this? people are sooooo negative and i really just don't know what to do. I would like to have my blood check from time to time but just worry about what he will say please help. oh and another thing did you tell friends....i haven't too scared. the few i did tell i told them it was out of state........i'm not really lieing am i? but it kinda hard. How will i tell my mom? my sisters? My boyfriend is 100 percent supportive so that a good thing but ugh it too much to think about.

Welcome Ryansgirl,

I have gone through the same fears with telling people. After awhile, my lightbulb went off and something just said, "Its my body, its my life, I know whats best for me, no one else does." People think that im nuts for having this surgery because they feel that Im not "big" enough, etc. LOL

I know me and I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I am just going to take GOD with me in the OR and take it from there. People will judge us regardless, so I say just do you and worry about telling people when you feel comfortable. As long as your significant other is supportive, that is all you need.

Good Luck

Don't you hate when people tell you that you are not "big" enough. People do the same thing with me and make me feel stupid for even considering WLS. When I tell them my weight they say "no way you don't weigh that much...well you hold it well!" Just because people hold their weight differently doesn't mean that they don't feel the same effects of their weight...the shortness of breath, the back pain, the self consciousness. LOL sorry for getting off the topic, just relieved to find someone else going through the same thing I am. :lol0: It's those people that DO make you wish you hadn't told anyone lol, but it's also too hard to keep a secret when you are excited about it...I know I couldn't despite the naysayers
