My sleeve is scheduled for 12/4, I am on the pre-op diet now. I am semi-secret as well, only my immediate family, boyfriend and one friend know. It is hard to keep secret, particularly since co-workers are very nosy!

It is very hard to keep it a secret . Everyone at my job thinks I’m going on vacation for two weeks. I have only told my boyfriend and my sister about my surgery. No one else knows.

Yes! 2 days after I get back from finals. But that will give me a full month recovery! I’ve only told my roommates because they’re crazy observant, parents, my best friend & boyfriend! Other than that I’m keeping it to myself.

What made you keep your surgery a secret?

I am taking full 6 week leave-figured I would take advantage of the time and really focus on myself (not something I have opportunity to do with my job regularly). I just told work that I have a medical concern I need to deal with. So far no one has pushed and our leave approvals are handled by 3rd party. Mom and sister work in the OR at hospital where I am having it so could not avoid telling them.

Hardest part is dodging questions from extended family at thanksgiving and Christmas on what I am eating (or not eating).

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
