So only my boss knows I had surgery because we are very close, and she is very good at keeping me sane. But anywho, since I'm ten weeks post op I've lost 50 pounds... I look a lot different and people are wondering what I've been doing. I say diet and excersiize which is true. People were talking behind my back saying that I'm gonna get sick since I'm losing so fast or if I on drugs?? Lol

Wls is a epidemic at my job' date=' lol. I told my entire team and they had a carry in for me a few days before my surgery and gave me a gift card. They were happy to celebrate my new life. It's the norm at my job.

I only told certain people. However, it did spread to a FEW outsiders. But all the response has been very positive. However, everyone here pretty much knows not to come to me with negativity, because it will be addressed IMMEDIATELY. lol. As a matter of fact, a lady asked me yesterday what I had been doing. I went ahead and told her. She had been thinking of having WLS, TOO.

I'm an open book and I am afraid of failing.... I answer people honestly and a couple of co-workers stated that they were worried but now see that even with only a 30 pound lose at this point that I am happier and feeling better! I've been surprised that the people that are considering surgery... no regrets!

I made the choice to tell my coworkers from the beginning. While i was going to my appointments i talked about the process and i think that helped. Some warned me that they knew people that had problems with it or it's too dangerous but i told them it was my choice. I work as a cna in a nursing home i only told the girls on my floor the big bosses and a few in the kitchen. yesterday people from the other floors were asking me how i was doing and how much I've lost. The word has spread through the building lol. But I'm ok with that it's a big support for me. I have had no complications so far and I'm doing great so the people that had doubt are now congratulating me!

Yeah if you aren't going to tell people.... They will just talk! But keep doing what your doing and let them talk about losing and how fabulous you look!

Surgery 7/25/12

People will talk regardless. Lol

I talked about having surgery at work a lot even found out 3 other people I work with have had it done and kept off the weight. Looking at them I would of never guessed they had RNY. I can't wait to have all my weight off and have more energy.

How cool about hose co-workers, now they can probably be of some assistants to you along the way. I agree on the cant wait to have the weight OFF, weight OFF, just has a ring to it. Lol
