I'm booked in for surgery for the 14th, a little nervous as I'm a mum of 2 beautiful kids and have an awesome husband, but I weighed up the pros and cons (excuse the pun) of the risks of this surgery and the risk of me having a heart attack before I'm 60 and its a no-brainer.

Other than my husband, I haven't told anyone else that I'm having WLS. Work knows I'm having keyhole surgery but not what its for. Anybody else feel like they want to keep it private?

I have kept most of it private from work friends. A few questions about how I am feeling and a few comments about how well I am looking is far better for me than the stigma of WLS among the uninformed. Best of luck to you! You will be so glad you did it!

I too am keeping the number of people who know to fingers on one hand!
