Usually, when I get cringes and disapproval from people, they end up being more understanding once they know more about the procedure & why I'm doing it. Only a few have reacted very negatively. I am moving forward, regardless!

Who is your surgeon in Fresno?

That's what I'm worried about. To tell, or not to tell, that is the question.

I'm sorry to hear that. Is he supportive now? I don't think I could do this without my husband's support!

Lol. I do need to keep my job! I already told her nicely last week that this topic is off limits at work, but she has kept it up this week, so it looks like it's time to get my boss involved. We have such a small & close knit staff that we usually talk about everything in our personal lives, but this has just gone too far.

Thanks. I am not doubting my decision at all. I have mostly positive & supportive people surrounding me, but I can't pick my co-workers! I haven't even told certain people, like my dad or my in-laws, because I have no clue how they'll react and if it's negative, I really don't want to deal with it. I will let them know once.surgery is scheduled, but until then, I feel like there's no point. I am most nervous about deciding when to tell my dad. I don't want to pull a last minute shocker, but I don't want weeks of crap from him either!

HELP! I am getting negative responses from several people who know I'm surgery bound. One of my co-workers has been pulling all of her tricks out of the bag, almost trying to scare me out of moving forward. She keeps telling me that I am mutilating God's design, I will never be or look healthy again, I will never be able to eat more than two bites of anything, I'm going to have diarrhea for the rest of my life, I'll likely gain back all the weight, & so on. She frustrates me beyond belief & of course, is someone who has NEVER struggled a day in her life with her weight! I wish I hadn't mentioned it. I get so caught up in her shocking statements that I can't even focus at work. What are you all doing to cope with the negative ninnies in your life?

New here.... Seeing my surgeon on Monday, with the strong possibility of scheduling a May surgery date! Tangled ball of emotions lately. Can't even concentrate at work! Anyone else feeling this way?

Ditto!
