I am a manager and was very apprehensive about sharing my WLS with too many people. After I did my first week of pre op diet I decided to share it with staff. They were all so supportive of the decision that I was making! I also decided to share this information with the other managers that I work with and I’ve had nothing but positive responses. I think the thing that changed my mind about sharing this information with my staff and coworkers was that I didn’t want to seem like I was trying to hide anything. It isn’t any of their business regardless, but I didn’t want them to feel like I was ashamed of making the decision that I did because I’m not. If they would have had negative thoughts then that’s their opinion to have, but it wasn’t going to change my thoughts or feelings about the surgery. I fully accept that WLS is the tool that I need to live a healthier lifestyle than what I was living prior to the surgery!
