People always have an opinion and if you don't have thick skin you need to keep it to yourself because you will get worse comments than that you know that it's for a medical issue and you know what you and your doctor discussed and that should be between you and your doctor you don't owe anybody any explanations on why you're having surgery a lot of people are uneducated when it comes to this surgery before I had my surgery I was nervous so I would tell people I thought I could trust but their response were not the ones that I was looking for so I just don't tell people because a lot of people are not educated about the gastric sleeve. And I have thick skin and it'll only get me in trouble so I just don't say anything about it I've been told things like oh don't do it you're going to die or you really should think about that oh that's so dangerous and all this nothing that's ever positive and you're going to have people that are going to be jealous of you because of the weight loss and a whole bunch of other crap so it's best to just kind of keep it to yourself or maybe have one person that you can trust to talk to Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app
