How many people kept Weight Loss Surgery a secret ?

Preach it!!!!

This is why I've told no one except my mom who is having it done the same day!!! She also told no one! I'm happy this way. I don't want to hear everyone's negativity!

I told a friend but did not like her reaction. So i am not telling anyone except close family after that.. Very close family, i am going to be very selective

I only told my immediate family (husband, parents, one of my children) and best friend. They are all sworn to secrecy!

I had my surgery two weeks ago. I told 4 people. My mom stepfather who took me to hospital and picked me up my only sibling (my brother) and my best friend. Told no one at church or work. My job just think I took a two week vacation. I go back to work tomorrow and I feel good. Btw I'm down 19 pounds

I've told folks. I haven't broadcast it to the masses but I am telling the people closest to me, which includes coworkers. I chose to tell people because I feel strongly that I'm making the right choice for me. I welcome people's questions because I'd rather tell them what they want to know instead of having them wonder or worry.

People don't have to agree with my decision, although every person I have told has been very supportive. VSG is what I am choosing for me. I'm not attempting to convert folks.

Tonight I spoke with someone who said it seemed very scary to her but that it sounded like I've done my research on the procedure and am involved in ways to gain support. Many of my friends and family have said they are worried because it's surgery, but that they support my informed choice.

This post was well put! I have only

told my husband, daughter, mom, sister. I intend to tell no one else. It has no relevance on their life. My husband's family is always up in our business and have an opinion on everything. There is no way in hell I need to deal with their opinions or judgement. This is a hard road, I don't care what anyone says! It requires mental strength, courage and will power. I feel very proud for making a step towards change. Sad that I can't share it with everyone, but the surgery was only a small part....I get credit for the hard work that follows. The journey to fitness and greater health is still the same as anyone else with the same goals.
