I'm curious, did you tell your place of employment about your WLS? I work in a very tiny place with 8 people total. Being the only fat one of the bunch, I'm nervous if I should tell them or not because I'm not sure if their reactions will be supportive or negative. If I'm going to be having surgery and out of work for possibly 2-3 weeks, they will need to know what's going on. I'm not sure if lying/making something up would be best or not. Did you tell your work what was going on? If yes, What did they think?

I only told my supervisor I was having surgery. I didn't specify what kind of procedure. Everyone else thinks I'm on a long Christmas vacation. People will begin to suspect after the weight really comes off. Not sure if I'll confirm speculation or not at this point.
