Hi all!

So today is exactly one week out from my scope pre-op; also next Thursday is my 5/6 of the required non-surgical weight-loss regimen apts needed by my insurance. Today I have a bit of nerves because I suddenly got the urge to tell my family. I am not ashamed of the surgery at all, however I am one of six girls and each and every one of us are very opinionated lol! I love that about us but in regards to this I just want their support (which I am sure I will have) not their opinions. I was going to wait until

I had approval and a surgery day to tell them all but a friend of mind made a good point to me; if any of them were to have a scope done or anything like it...I would want to know beforehand not after. So out of respect to them I am going to tell them tonight. I am only nervous because once I tell them it becomes that much more real you know? Did any of y'all have nerves like this before telling your family? My husband and mother know. I notified my boss and director this week so it only seems right that I tell my family now.

Do you all think I should wait or jut out with it? I have bad anxiety and this is just one of those thing that's been weighing on me; my husband thinks it's part of the reason I had such a bad panic/anxiety attack this past weekend.

I would tell them. I too freaked out while going through the process of WLS. I only started telling people once I got approved and had a date

That's what I wanted to do but I know that if one of them were to go under even just for a scope and not tell me; I'd be upset. That's why I decided to just tell them all Friday, but before that day I really wanted to wait until I was approved with a date as well....there's not talking me out of this though.

My doc said I am really good with calories out and make good food choices I just really struggle with my portions....which is exactly what this surgery is for. I am glad I am not the only one that freaked out about telling their family.

Thanks y'all!!!
