I hope your family and friends become supportive because I think that is so important. I have only told a few people about my surgery so far, I'm having it done in March. I think they are trying to be supportive but I can definitely tell no one in my family wants me to get it done. I have been putting off telling others because I just don't want them to judge me which I know will happen. I probably need to tell my work soon since I will need to take time off but kinda dreading telling them. I have a couple friends that have had this done some many years ago and one within the past month and they are very supportive because they have been where I am.
