Just Got My Approval, Waiting For Date... But Scared To Tell Anyone

[fericito 138]

I haven't told anyone beyond dh. I thought I would tell everyone and several know I've been saving up for it but I don't know why, I just don't want anyone to know. Some close friends have been banded or bypassed themselves and I think they'll have hurt feelings when (if) they find out but I'm just not ready for them to know. For me it's working well because I was going on vacation then anyway (why I chose the date I did for surgery) but I figure when I start losing weight they might start asking. I am telling as little people as possible - especially don't want my sisters to know because then EVERYONE will know (and they think I'm the family gossip - ha!).

I think it's all personal - I'm not embarrassed about it but I know I'll be judged and since it's been that way ever since I got overweight I'd rather not be judged about this. I'm so glad I found this forum though to have people to talk to about it!!

I am telling people that I am eating way less , not eating carbs, and exercising all the time! Which will be the truth. lol I'll only omit the lap band. People don't NEED to know!
