I decided to keep it a secret, only telling my husband. Not even my mom or kids know. I told my coworkers that I was having a "women" surgery and no one asked questions. When I started losing weight prior to surgery I attributed it to a low carb diet and carried around protein shakes. I am 3 weeks post op now and noone has suspected anything. I only stayed off work for a week. It is no one's business what I do with my own body.
