Are You Telling Anyone? If So, Who? Why?

Thought this was funny...my fiance's mother is against me getting surgery. She keeps trying to talk me out of it. She told me about some of her co-workers who had the surgery. She says "you don't want to end up like them. They throwup everyday after lunch"! So she then tells me they go to McDonalds often and get something along with a snickers lol. No wonder they're getting sick. At that point, I just nodded and didn't bother correcting her. She (and a lot of other people) also seem to say "omg, you are never going to eat again, do you know what that will be like? Not eating your favorite foods for life?? OMG"!

Comments like these drive me nuts and make me want the surgery 100x more lol.

Absolutely! Comments like these take all of my strength to just walk away. Keep in mind, I haven't had a cigarette in 3 weeks, so when I hear garbage like that....lol....I keep reminding myself to walk away!

My boss/friend has been concerned just for the fact that all the people she knows have had complications not one have been ok, one throws up most of the time another almost right on the spot use to throw up. Another passed away. ( not sure what it was from ) she thinks it was correlated from the surgery. But I'm not sure if she Foun d out the autopsy results.

She is supportive but concerned which is how most in my circle are

I decided to be honest with people at work but I left it until I had a confirmed date for my op. I've had a mixture of feedback from people, some worried, some skeptical but I just thought honesty wd be the best policy, plus I'm a really bad liar.
