O.K., here is my situation.....I can't decide how I should approach "telling or not telling" people I am having WLS. I had decided to not tell anyone then choose to tell two people.....one was kind of a test as she is a friend but not a super close friend and the other is a very close friend. Now I have another friend in the hospital (respiratory failure) due to her weight. So I am talking to the "test" friend and forgot I told her about WLS. Instead I said, I would share something with her since we were talking about our friend in the hospital due to her weight.....my "test" friend says, "of course, you already told me about the WLS". Wow, I felt so stupid.....I guess I am confused....I hate this not telling since I am so excited about it, but would like to be a little private, I guess...

Did you tell? How? When? Everyone or just if someone mentioned your change in eating or weight?

Help....

I only told my immediate family and one co-worker. I am glad that I only told a few people because my weight loss has been slow. Besides, I don't want people monitoring what I eat. My mother unfortunately told several of her friends which really bothered me. Hopefully she will respect my wishes in the future. The decision is personal. Daisydoodle had some good advice, "You can always tell later, but you can never untell."
