So here is my dilemma. I have decided not to tell any family members besides my husband and a few of my girlfriends that I am getting wls. So I need to have a story as to why I might not be able to do things for a little while.. and I also visit my sister once a week and help her take care of her kids, how can I avoid not picking up the baby... so as I realize that lying isn't the best. I do not have another choice. If I say I'm having surgery for another reason.. they will all want to come and visit me.. so I guess I'm asking for tips from anyone who is also going through this situation of having to keep things from people. Just an FYI, I'm not telling them because when I have talked about it in the past they all we very negative about it.. this is for me not them!

hi i havent told even my sisters or brothers about my wls i have only discussed it with my 3 daughters and my husband who are all very supportive i havent told my work collegues or my boss that its wls i have said i am having a hernia repair thats got very large in my stomach and they are going to repair my hitues hernia as well they have acepted that as my reason to be off work hope this works for you xxx

i am having the vsg surgery in a few weeks and i do not want anyone at my work to know! Anyone been in this situation??? what did you tell your boss? what didn't you tell your boss? being in the medical field it is extremely difficult to lie about a reason i am having major surgery and will need 2 weeks off!!

I am sure I am not the only one with this issue!!! Please help!!!
