hello...I have told some just because I'm so excited to get this process going. Mostly close friends, coworkers and family members. I am also ashamed of this as I feel like I am failing for all the unsuccessful attempts at weight loss..I also have major fears of dying and leaving my one year old daughter...I don't know why it hits me so hard...I guess the only thing I'm worried about having told people that I'm thinking of getting the surgery is if it doesnt work and yet again I have failed..my stepmom already tells me I'm stupid for considering the surgery.....I do know though, that once I get my surgery date scheduled, the only people who will know is my husband and parents. Good luck to you in your journey!!!
