So I went into work today to get my office ready for the first day of school next Monday. When I was done I went shopping to pick up some new clothes that fit. My daughter who teaches at the school called me and said that a friend of mine had the sleeve surgery this summer and is telling everyone. Now I didn't say anything to her nor her to me! LOL We could have been support for each other and we still can. However, I wasn't wanting to tell people. I know it is a matter of time before people ask because I will be losing weight similiar to her and they know she had wls. I really wanted this to be private because I don't like attention on me but I can't omit this when she is openly telling people. Or can I? Advise please!

I say the same thing. Only a handful of people at work know and they all are respectful of my privacy. More and more people are commenting in my size and progress. I feel a little guilty when they ask if I had surgery and i say no, but it is none of their business. Bottom line is I've changed my habits and that is what's causing my weightloss.
