What are some of the comments you get?

Hi. ..I was wondering what kind of comments other people are getting when you mention that you are getting VSG? I hear and see alot of people say that they aren't telling anyone. . well when you go from a a size 20 to a 14..what are you suppose to say lol? I have only shared this journey with a couple of people because of the negative vibes that ive gotten. .My manager and I have a wonderful relationship and he blew a gasket...no no no you dont need that...thats dumb...then to my loving boyfriend. .no..thats the easy way out and I dont agree. .im like damn can anyone support me here...My mother lives 6 hrs away and she is 100% supportive but I feel like I need a good support system here as well and I don't really have it....ALL the people who suoport me are 6 hrs away...just wanted to know if anyone else was going thru this....the NUT said that I definitely need support going thru this....

Shuuuuuuu (wiping my brow) glad to get that off of my chest!

patiently waiting

I haven't heard the first negative thing. I told my entire family and everyone was super supportive of me having the surgery. Everyone is super supportive now that I'm post op. It definitely made things a lot easier for me.

I have had so much positive support ......my dad just said I hope you are happy with this change and he paid all my co-pays yay him for that...my mother said why are you doing this I explained why she said have your baby call me when you are in recovery (my parents live in another state)......my sister was like why girl you crazy I explained it to her then she said can I get it too LMBO....my brother said I hope you feel super hot after this and be happy sis love you.......both my daughters have been my biggest encouragement and supporters......two of my cousins took off of work to be with me today for my surgery and I will be staying at their house for the first 24 hours.....my whole family has been so supportive even all my friends.....my co-workers have been great they keep saying oh baby we can't do nothing with you now oh lord we bout to have a beast on our hands lol........everyone has been happy for me which has made the journey easier.
