I'm going to be sleeved in September and I've kind of questioned whether or not I want to tell people or not. My wife knows but that is it. I feel like I don't want to tell people. What has everyone else done, did you tell or did you not tell?

Don’t tell.
If someone asks and you guys are close and feel like sharing then that’s up to you but the fewer people in your business the better.


Then there’s also a bunch of people who don’t care one way or another.

I guess since I don’t judge folks by their personal choices I don’t expect to be judged by mine. I told everyone who was remotely interested and probably several who couldn’t care less.
I guess i figure it’s my life and my choices so I’m not really interested in others opinions about me.
It does sadden me to see people hurt by cruel things that friends and family have said the them regarding WLS. I just don’t understand how hurting someone feels good.
I’m proud of all of us who have or are going to embark on this trip, it’s tough but we will prevail!!

I haven't had surgery but I am in the few people that know the better camp. I'm already tired of the unsolicited weight loss or thyroid cure advice. I'm blessed with a MI L that is encouraging and doesn't gossip, her and my husband are the only ones IRL I now share medical stuff with.
