LMAO @ the Kit Kat

Sounds like you need a doctor who's fully educated and have a understanding of both good and bad of this procedure. Plus someone who has more of a tactful manner discussing the risks. The rate he's going I would be scared to death too! Yes it has risks but we (pre op) are more at risk with the weight we are at.

Oh we don't play with HIPAA!!! I used to work for an insurance company (Amerigroup) HIPAA was branded in my brain. lol. Congrats and good luck to you!

Its sad when you tell your own mother and the first thing comes out her mouth is about someone else who had the bypass having complications. First off I said sleeve but all she heard was weight loss surgery and instantly spoke negativity. So that is a done deal I will never bring it up or speak to her about it. My husband and children know and my true friends which all have been supportive. Outside of that i'm not saying a word. That goes for work too! I'm just going to watch them try to catch up thinking diet and excerise was all it took. lol I'm so bad and love it!

Good question!!! I can do that! lol

Thanks to everyone that replied. I'm far from ashamed and diffenentily not embarrassed. Nosey people just erks me so i keep my personal business at a minium. If anyone asked and needed me by pulling me to the side of course i would be there for them. But if you are asking and have no intentions of being useful with the information i provide then yes thats a person i would not share my decision with.

And thats where i'm at. I dont want to explain nor share my feelings AT WORK. My friends and family of course they will be my outlet.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I have some demons first i'm trying to leave in the past so i can move forward. January looks like my target month to be sleeved. I'm really looking forward to having a healthy quality of life!

I work in an office environment with 20 people. I keep things professional friendly and short. I have no intentions of advertising my choice in WLS. I don't want to lie and just say diet and exercise but I don't want then in my business either. These days you drop weight fast people think you either sick or you are a crack/coke diet. Has anyone had any challenges discussing or not discussing with co-workers when your weight started coming off fast and it's noticeable?

SImply Amazing!!! Congrats to you!

Congrats on your 1 month coming up!!
