I am in the planning stages of my surgery, have applied for my passport and have decided on a surgeon in whom I have great confidence. I have also decided to be up-front about my WLS with my family, supervisors and co-workers. It may not be the best idea for everyone, but for me it has been great. There is no doubt that laughter is the best medicine. Every day at least one of them comes up with a new "I know somebody" story. Everything from "uneducated surgeons with dirty gloves" to "stealing kidneys, livers and lungs." It's really getting to be the office joke. I think they are having more fun with this than I am! Actually talking about it so openly is helping me get through the nervousness. I was just wondering if anyone else is getting these stories?!?

OMG!! How hilarious!!! I have laughed til tears are running down my face. I took a look at your numbers and They are so inspirational. I can hardly wait!

Hey Z....Yea!!!! I got my passport today!!! My co-workers are taking donations for me in case I need a kidney or a liver replacement. LOL

You know they are proud of you or they wouldn't be on you like that! I imagine they have watched your progress with great interest. You should really have a party for their support and caring if you haven't already!! LOL Two years and looking like a Rock Star! Such an inspiration and what an uplifting attitude!!
