I posted a similar thread for the Sep. '07 bandsters but I wanted everyone to "weigh" in on the topic. What did you tell people at work? Did you tell them you were getting weight loss surgery? Just a "procedure"? Did you just take vacation time and not say anything? How did you deal with it. I work in tv and I think it would be humiliating to tell people here that I am getting weight loss surgery. They are very snotty (and skinny):help:. Please help!

I tell everyone who will listen...LOL. As far as how much I lost, it wasn't as much as I thought at my first fill, but I was getting compliments long before that. Good enough for me! My friend on the other hand is keeping it a huge secret and I have to be careful to not include her in my conversations when she's around. I don't understand the secrecy, but I respect her for it regardless.

Uhh...60 pounds in 3 years isn't chit...

Susan girl you should see her in action when I eat.

She's like the lapband police.

My BF had RNY 3 months prior to me. The office staff had commented on how she is losing weight. I finally confessed to office staff that I had been following the same program as her and that I would be banded in a few months. They were all very supported. The girl I share an office with even did the 2 week liquid diet with me. I had a lot if support. Do you have at least one good friend at work you can trust?:guess
