Weird Or Not Weird

Well as my surgery date approaches 8/15 i have yet to let anyone know that im going to be having gastric bypass. Of course my husband, and family knows. I haven't even posted it on Facebook. I just dont want people to judge me, or them think that im taking the " easy way out" because i know this is not the east way

Is it weird that im not telling anyone, not even my friends?
