I recently gathered the courage to tell my sister (who is a personal trainer) that I am getting surgery. She understood and once I explained the surgery to her she really started to support my decision. So that makes a total of four people that now know. I don't plan on telling anyone else unless I'm asked. I don't need anyone trying to change my mind or tell me I can do it without surgery, because I've tried for over 10 years and it just doesn't work, I've done several diets, diet pills, drinks, everything I can think of. I'm becoming more positive about this and I feel that this is the right decision.

Thank you both, it really does mean a lot to have a good support system, my sister was the one I was most nervous about telling since she has stated in the past how much she disagrees with WLS. But once I explained it to her she understood completely which was a relief (not that I wouldn't have gotten the surgery if she had disagreed, it just makes things a lot easier with her support). I never could understand why those who do not deal with the same issues others have simply cannot see the benefit. I've exhausted all other possibilities, I did not come to the decision lightly you know? But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
