I'm going back to work on January 2, exactly 1 month post-op. A friend of mine said " don't tell anyone what you had done, let them think you did it on your own" like losing 30 lbs in a month is totally normal? Lol

I am a horrible lier,. I know she said that because it would probably bother me if someone started saying stuff like, easy way out or lazy. But I feel ok ( at the moment) to tell people if they ask. It's my life right? I just know I'd be upset if I heard someone was talking about me. Ug, what did you all do?

It's your life. You get to choose who or what you tell. I didn't tell a lot of people, but there are some people that I won't mind telling if they ask. I'm a REALLY nice person 99% of the time, and I'm private about a lot of things, but I'm also one of those people that will get nasty and in your face if you talk down to me, and make you wish you hadn't been born, so nobody is gonna give me any crap about it.

I only took a week off work. As far as anyone knew I was on vacation. One caveat is that I just about hated everyone and everything about my job so it wasn't hard for me to not tell people my business. You are not obligated to tell people your private medical business. If you had infertility treatments would you tell everyone? If you had an ovarian cyst removed would you feel obligated to tell? Just because you had a procedure that will eventually be noticeable does not mean you are obligated to pass that info along.
