How many if you didn't tell your friends or other mums at school? The only person I've told is my mum. I floated the idea with a skinny friend and she got really funny and negative... Told me I would die. I've not spoke to her since or told anyone else.... :-( I'm 229 lbs and 5'3 - surgery 27th feb :-)

I told my husband and my immediate family, I also told my very close 2 cousins because we have dinner together every week and I can't just sit there and lie and say am not hungry, they know me too well lol!

I did not tell my judgmental maternal side of the family and no one at work knows, I hate being watched and it's really none of their business.

I had the surgery in Feb so I might change my mind later but I work in a very competitive environment and they already spend enough time talking behind my back, I am not adding this to the mix!

I chose to keep mine very private. If they ask how did I lose weight, I'll just say I had an appendectomy. My twin sister and my niece are the only ones that will know. I'm not even telling my son. My twin sister had hers done in Mexico in December. The same circle are the only ones that know, me and her daughter.

I would have liked to keep mine more private, I only told my mum and 2 supportive friends, but my mum took it upon herself to tell lots of people, then it's amazing how it gets around. ????

That's why my dad is being kept in the dark! He is such a gossip! :-)
