I have a co worker that let it out from day 1 what his plans were, at his highest weight people made comments and jokes(which is sad) but now almost a year post op he looks good and co workers have been more than supportive of his decision. I'm sure the comments about me are the same behind my back but I'm not worried about it and I have not told anyone at work about my plans and I'm sure I'll be supported when it comes to light what I'm doing. My family has been told and is very supportive, especially my parents. Surgery is on Monday so the journey really begins soon!!
