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).

      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!!
