I have only told one co worker I trust completely, my spouse and sister. Those 3 are huge supporters for me. Idk if and when I will tell others. I'm not ashamed of the surgery by any means, but If I decide to say eating healthier and making better choices it won't be a lie. I will cross that bridge when it happens.

I completely agree. My immediate family knows and one close friend. I have already changed my eating habits and started exercising more. I am not ashamed that I am having the surgery. I'm very excited actually. I am a pretty private person though and didn't want to tell everyone about it. I started having digestive issues earlier this year and while my work knows I am going out for surgery, they don't know the specifics. I am kind of leaning towards leaving it like that. Thanks for your input!

I am scheduled for July 14th. My first choice for surgery was sleeve but the doctor recommended I do the RNY. That was in August 2015. Now he is concerned with the medications I take and feels I should go with the sleeve. I consulted my rheumatologist and he agrees the sleeve would provide better absorption of my medications. Now I need to wrap my mind around this 11th hour change. Either way, I lose (in a good way).

How long did the surgeon want you to be smoke free? If they test for nicotine, all the water in the world isn't going to make a difference, but I would re-quit immediately.

Sorry for your losses.
