I am going to be taking 2 weeks off mainly because that’s all the time work will allow me but light duties for 4 weeks after and just see how I go. I have already told them I won’t be able to lift over 5kgs for a while and possibly start with shorter shifts the first week back to see how my energy levels are. Good luck xx ~ in the process of getting date for Gastric Bypass Surgery ~

Hi all, I am wondering how people told friends they were thinking of getting WLS. I decided to tell my two best friends who happen to be a couple. They weren’t supportive like I thought they were going to be. They kept telling me that with the gastric bypass people only lose 10kgs which I know is not true. But no matter how much information I told them about it, all they did was turn it around into a negative. They told me that they would always support me even though they think that me getting this surgery is wrong. I don’t know what to feel right now, part of me doesn’t want to involve them at all but another part of me wants to have friends that will be there and support me through this whole thing. Did anyone else have any issues telling friends, how did you handle this? I don’t want to hide my surgery from them, especially since they know that I was looking into it. They would be suspicious. But I also don’t want their negative opinions. Sorry for the rant.

Thank you for all your help [emoji4] this has definitely given me a lot to think about. Ultimately my body, my decision. I guess all I can do is inform the ones I love and trust and whether they agree or support the decision is up to them. I’m doing this for my health and happiness [emoji4]

Thanks for your reply. You are right, it isn’t anyone else business. I guess I’m so used to wanted to please everybody else but I’m doing this for me and I shouldn’t worry about what other people think. I suppose I’ll prove them wrong when I lose over 10kgs haha. Congrats on the surgery. Hope your recovery goes really well
