Thanks Jamie. I think I will not tell them and hope that I won't need their support. My mother will spend the entire time sending me every article in the world where VSG went sideways. Certainly not a stressor I need. Thanks for your feedback.

I started my journey yesterday visiting my bariatric program manager and getting all the info for the sleeve. My family and friends won't understand and I don't really want the stress of explaining and rationalizing my decision so I've only told 2 people. One will take me to and from the hospital. For now it looks like June 12th will be the date. I've read nearly all 14k posts on here looking for a reason not to do it. There are such mixed results but the majority seem happy with the decision. Any thoughts on telling family in advance?
