All of the negative comments are why I am telling few people about my surgery.
I am not wanting to be told just eat less and exercise. I am doing the preop diet now so everyone knows I am on a high protein diet, and will be for a while as my surgery date is in process. I have lost 21 lbs on the protein diet so just seem like my diet is working. Later I might decide to share the surgery info. But then not wanting the questions of sis insurance pay, did you pay, how much did it cost? Yek. Just stay silent for now.
