I have only told people that are close to me, because their are people that you notice their overall attitude toward you changes when you loose weight. My surgery is july 20th so it's coming up quick. I have had some not so supportive people make comments such as why do you need surgery? I have lost 45 pounds in 7 months with a doctor a supervised weightloss, so people think I don't need it. Like I tell them you dont know how I struggle everday. Someone that makes a comment like that doesnt derserve to be around as you are taking this life changing step.
