I've told a few close friends, My boyfriend, and my parents. I've been back and forth about posting it on Facebook, I'm not sure if I want to tell everyone or wait for them to see pictures of lighter me. What did y'all do?

I am extremely open about it because i hate that people think negatively about the surgery (usually due to ignorance) so just about everyone I know is aware of my surgery

Haven't had mine yet. Going fo bypass. Have told family and friends that are important in my life. Co-workers since I will be out a little while after it. Whenit gets noticed and I am asked, I will tell others. Noy hanging a banner, but am very open about it. Mostly positive feedback. One drastic negative one (but from who it came from, not a surprise).

I have only told my immediate family. I want to get it done very privately.

I really want to just go ahead and post it on Facebook, because I'm so excited, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate

I posted it on Facebook to all my friends/ family. Along with my thoughts and reasons. I also put that I'd appreciate only positive comments as I am trying to do something good for my health. Surprisingly I didn't get anything negative on Facebook. I have however gotten negative comments when talking face to face with someone. It's sad that people try to tear you down like that though.

I've told everyone, lol! My family, friends, neighbors and clients. I am a very open person and they've all seen my struggles with my weight, so for the most part everyone seems very happy for me.

I told my immediate family, friends and coworkers. Everyone has been really supportive. I had my surgery on my birthday which was July 3. I called it a rebirth. My mom and aunt both had RNY 9 years ago. My best friend had it 4 years ago. My father was worried about me doing it but once I told him that I didn't want to get all the health problems that ran on both sides of my family he got on board. He, my sister and my stepmom even came down from LA for the surgery. This is not a quick fix but a lifestyle change. I'm both nervous and excited.

      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.
