She's never going to keep her mouth shut, sadly. You might just want to get in front of it and tell people yourself. Once once person knows, then everyone does. I told a couple of people at work, and they told others - and these are people I thought I could trust. They are my closest work friends. They just don't see it as a big deal and are happy for me, and most people are out in the open about it. I learned the hard way the only way to keep a secret it to really keep it to yourself.

I really think it is important to be open and unashamed about having bariatric surgery. You are doing this for your health and peace of mind. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm sure your like most of us who have tried everything to get the weight off on their own. We are unlucky we live in a day and age where food is everywhere, so easy to obtain, and so easy to use as a crutch. We are however lucky to live in an age where there are options such as this to turn to. You dont have to blab your business to everyone, but if they ask tell them, she won't have anything to talk about anymore.

A mature adult would be over the moon happy that you were approved for surgery. Your approval has absolutely nothing to do with her denial and any reasonable person would realize that. My response to her would be a very simple: "Your reaction and behavior in this matter has been very disappointing."

I'm sorry she betrayed your trust. You had the right to keep this private, but cat is out of the bag now, so do all you can to put your positive spin on the surgery and build excitement from your coworkers for it. I know when we had people from my office go for bariatric surgery, the entire office was excited for the person as we all saw it as such a positive step.

Thanks you everyone for the suggestion and support. I will let you know how it goes when I talk to her. If no one hears from me it means it didn't go well and I did have to ****** the b**** bald and rip her face off and need to be bailed out! LOL JK

If she is telling your personal business to co workers that's violating your HIPPA rights and you can sue her

Hippa only applies to medical professionals who are treating you.. it does not apply to office gossip. If you tell someone a secret, it's not covered under HIPPA.

Thanks again every one. I truly appreciate every ones input and concern. Please understand I have no intention of causing anyone bodily harm. I also dont feel anyone was telling me to cause her any harm. I apologize for the joke. I just need to vent it out

Another of those times that a "sarcasm" font would be helpful...

I had a similar situation. I decided to have lap band surgery and I only told one person. By the end of the week, multiple people I worked with were asking me about it. Luckily everyone was supportive. The friend I told initially, it turns out she did not believe in weightloss surgery and thought it was unneccessary. I can say we no longer speak now.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
