On 12/12/12 I had a RNY surgery to lose 120 lbs. I have a small skin infection on Keflex for otherwise doing as expected. I go back to work on 1/13/13 and I hope I will be able to keep the secret. I went to surgery with only my husband and my nephew knowing,.. my kids and my mother dont even know. I am looking forward to some help and some tips from these forums.

Thank you

Nancy

Welcome Nancy glad you found us. There is so much good advice, info and support here. Hope your infection heals quickly and that you feel better and better every day. It will be interesting to see who notices and what they say. Again Welcome and Merry Christmas to you and yours

Thank you for your response, I am hoping the group will be my gang to talk to about all this.

Hi Nancy!! Welcome! I told very few people too. I was off a month as well and so far no one has said anything to me. I only lost about 23 pounds so nothing drastic which is good.

This is a great place. Never hesitate to ask a question or reach out for support.

Hey Nancy, Congrats on your surgery and welcome to the boards!

Welcome Nancy. I go for the final doctor visit tomorrow morning to review the pre-op test results. Then they will schedule me for an all day nutrition class then the surgery. Thank you for sharing. I will be following right behind you!

Congrats Nancy on beginning your journey! Hope you are healing nicely. I was trying to keep this a secret at work. I had only told the teachers on my team... However, you know how that goes. Word had gotten out. I'm okay with that. Good luck with everything!

You will find great support here Nancy. I love reading everyones experiences good and bad. It's the best way to find out everything. Hope you heal soon. Good luck!

Hi Nancy. I haven't told anyone either. My surgery is Jan 10 and my work people know I'm having stomach surgery but no details. I work with a lot if mean spirited people and my boss would not be happy with me putting our department in a bind for an "elective" surgery. Good luck to you and God bless.

I am with you on the not telling many people. For the few people that know they are very supportive but the subject itself is hard to bring up with my extended family. Good luck with your journey and keep all of us updated on your results.
