I have chosen to keep my surgery just between my mom and 3 close friends. I had heard both negative and positive comments about people who choose to have surgery. I feel like the only opinion that matters in this situation is yours. I only told my mom because I wanted her to be there with me, and surprisingly she has been completely supportive of the whole process. I will be honest with people if they ask me, but i wont go and dish out my personal information just cause. And I think they has been the best thing for me.
