I have only told a hand full of people about my surgery. Honestly is because I'm ashamed I let my self get this big, and ashamed I can't loose the weight by my self. My husband knows of course, my parents and in-laws, my boss and partner at work, and two friends. I have no idea what I'm gonna tell people when I start loosing weight. How am I going to explain the pictures of me to my son when he gets older?

Anyway did you tell everyone? If not who did you tell?

I TOLD EVERYBODY! I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THIS SURGERY! VERY PROUD TO MAKE THIS BIG CHANGE IN MY LIFE!!!

I tell people who ask or comment on my weight loss. I am very proud of myself. It took a lot of courage to take this step. I am healthier now than I ever was before surgery. And sometimes letting people know about my surgery makes it easier to get what I need for myself.

I wasnt going to tell a lot of ppl including my sister. I ended up telling more ppl than I planned then I told my neice, so I decided to tell my sister what a big mistake that was cuz we ended up in an arguement and the fist thing she says is atleast I dont have to have surgery to loose weight. It's my own fault I should have known better cuz thats the type of person she is and I knew that, but im use to her jabs so I dont let them affect me anymore. Every1 else who I told SEEMS to be supportive, and my 2 kids are very happy for me.

I told people when I started researching about 2 years ago. My kids I talked about with them the beginning of the year. Sweet kids that I have told me that i'm perfect the way I am and don't need to worry because they love me no matter what. My husband says that I don't need the surgery because he loves me and that i'm beautiful and shouldn't mess with perfection:)

I haven't told anyone that I have a surgery date. My hubby knows, he told his good friend at work and his brother and will be taking off for 2 days and then its the weekend. Our kids don't know that i've got a date and the night before we were gonna have them spend the night at their friends so they wouldn't know. I don't want them to worry about anything or miss school.

I heard this for and thought it was great to say and of course it isn't lieing. People would ask her how she lost weight and she said lots of Water, Protein and exercising. Which is very true. She just left the part out about surgery. So I think i'll be using this when people ask me and I may add in the words of stress or kids keep me going

That's just down rite wrong, sounds like she's jealous my mom is worried she hasn't really said it but I can tell and she's all the way on the other side of United States. How are you doing since you surgery, I will be praying for you and your family.

I have only told my husband, mom, and two friends

Other than my husband and kids I have told my parents, brother, cousins, and a few friends like 2. I'm not hiding it but I'm not putting it out there all like that. If I'm close to you you'll know if not why would you care? If someone asks in the future I'll tell them.

Wait....I did change for the worse...mentally. I don't take crap anymore. I don't make fat jokes about myself anymore...(lost my sense of humor, I bet some will say) I will not be that safety friend that men ignore...sooooo... We lose some friends cause (you know, they say we have such a nice personality?) I personnaly would rather those jealous types to say, dang, brains AND a BODY!!!

My husband knew already and we just went to the surgeon consultation together. It went really well ans he was so supportive i decided to tell my grandma and parents. My dad and grandma have both had it done. I was suprised how supportive all 3 of them were. Only planning on telling one or 2 close friends and i will have to tell my boss since i will have to work from home for 2 weeks. Getting all my appointments lined up and the support from family makes me excites for this great life change.

i told my husband, son and bff, i made the mistake of telling some of the women on the AF base i live on, which cause be big : your gunna be skinner than me fit", my mother hates the idea she thinks through yoga and Paleo Diet all my weight will fall off, so I am keeping it to myself. until of course the weight starts to really come off then I will have to tell people.. Oh and my Roller Derby Coach knows and that it..
