Thanks! I'm just afraid it'll come off that I'm embarrassed I got the surgery, or whatever. But honestly, I just did what I had/wanted to. Thanks for helping me not feel crazy!!!

I had my sleeve done in May of 2014, and I know I'm doing really well by the measure of the scale (down 70+ lbs already) but I still see myself as "a fat kid" and pretty much expect my family to as well. When I say family, I mean the 100+ aunts, uncles, cousins, 2nd cousins, etc that I get to spend Labor day with. We only get together once every few years, and they've always known me to be a "bigger" person, so I doubt anyone will notice the weight loss. Here's my question- is it weird I really don't want all of them to know about my surgery? I haven't had a problem telling my immediate family, friends, and even my co workers, but I just feel really weird about telling the rest of the family. I even got mad when my Mom told my uncle without asking me first. Did anyone else have this after their surgery?
