It's always your decision to include certain people or not. My immediate family knows and some close freinds only. In time others will be included.

It will be hard to have everybody you tell, Like YOUR decision. Too bad! To each his/her own.

Best wishes and Be Positive.

I have told 6 people, mother, sister, 2 friends who will be very supportive and my boss and coordinator, that is it............nobody else needs to know and I don't need to be explaining myself to anyone else nor do I need people watching me to see if 'it works'.

if you (dont want to hear them) then dont tell them. some tell only a couple people, some like me tell just about everyone i know. basically as my friend rojo says, its your decision. this is about you making yourself well. what is that saying a about assholes, everyone has one (same with opinions).

i wish you all the luck in the world. stay on this forum for support. i am sure glad i did :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
