I'm waiting on a surgery date, but I think I will have to tell people who ask that I did it to get healthier, and in my case, to save my kidneys because of my diabetes. I'm just praying that once the surgery is done, my diabetes will go into remission. I'm at the point now where food just isn't appealing to me much anymore, but I still can't lose weight, even cutting carbs. I can totally give up sugar, never been a huge candy/cookie/cake eater. I have no problem telling anyone about the surgery because it's my business, they haven't lived my life, nor have they struggled with serious health issues due to being obese. If they have some snarky comment about it, that's their problem, not mine. Just my take on things.
