I'm hiding my surgery from family anyone else ?



Recommended Posts

I did not tell anyone until about a month after surgery. I wanted to wait until I had my 1 month post op check up.

I told my sisters first. I have endless support from them. I hesitated to tell my father because he was always asking, how's the weight coming. I'm my head I thought, you still see it dont you ? I got so steamed. But you know, my sister talked to him about it and now he's one of the most supportive people on my journey. He wants me to be healthy. In my head, I thought he was being critical. It's bought us a little closer. We all have our own journey. Do whats right for you. As long as you have some support, you'll be ok. Good luck to you.

My mom, brother, and cousin knows...thats it. I don't have time for the "you know that's not healthy. Why don't you just eat right and exercise?" Sermon from 98% of my very overweight family.

I have told my husband and 2 of our 3 children and a few people I work with because one just had her surgery done 4 weeks ago. I will tell my father, sister, and son when it is closer. They will be supportive but if I told them now they would try to discourage me.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
