I'm getting my band to sleeve revision next week and I have opted to not tell everyone I know. Only my 2 bosses and my immediate family know. However my friends from work are getting quite nosey about my scandilious leave from work coming up. I have just said I've decided to get my lap band removed. I feel guilty like I am lying! And then questions start and I don't know what to do or say!!! HELP!!!!

I don't think you should feel guilty about not telling your co-workers everything. It's a personal decision and they don't need to know. I think your explanation of having your band removed is just fine. JMHO.

It really is no one's business unless you choose to tell them! I have told a few people at work (I work in a school), and the rest....

Totally a personal decision, there is no right or wrong answer. You need to do what is best for you!!!

Also, it isn't a lie. You ARE having your band removed. They don't have to know about the rest.

Thanks guys. I have this guilty conscience for not disclosing everything! Lol.

Ps iwannabethin.... How are you feeling??

I feel really good. Thanks for asking! This part of the journey is VERY similar to after first getting the band as far as progressing through the food stages, but that is where the similarity stops. I actually have no real interest in food yet. I eat because I know I have to, but I have yet to actually feel hungry (knock on wood).

I wish you the best on your revision!

That's great to hear! I'm scared I will be hungry!! After about 3-4 days post op band I was starving!! I can only hope it's not the case this time around! 8 more days!!!

That was my fear too! I was starving from the time I came home until they took it out! hahaha I NEVER had a time that I wasn"t physically hungry with the band. I could get to the point where I couldn't eat (multiple productive burps during the week), but I was STILL hungry. I have not felt hungry at ALL since I woke up with my sleeve. The first few days, I did good just to remember to drink Water. It has truly been night and day as far as that.

I'm very excited for you! Those 8 days will FLY by! Let us know how you are doing!

Thank you! I definitely will keep everyone updated! So much to do before so it will go by quick for sure. Yippee!!!
