To this day and it will be 2 years Oct 27, I have told 4 people. My husband, my daughter and 2 sisters. One who wants wls but can't do it, has many problems. Just found out last month she will need a liver transplant before long. So no surgeon will touch her now with that and many other problems. Didn't even tell my son, he thinks I've done good in 2 years losing weight. 2 brothers and 4 sisters I have all say looking great! My mother had gastric bypass back in the 70's. she is super skinny now at 81, and younger siblings don't remember. I reminded them when her pain pills weren't working and she would cry in pain. The patch is working great for her, alzhiemers ? has mad her not eat , her food intake is not enough. I have recommended protien drinks for her at least twice a day.
So when older you have to make sure someone knows of weight loss surgery. If you happen to be forgetful.
