Telling your job

[GuyMontag 1,264]

I told them. I've heard horror stories of bulimia intervention days that people were surprised with because they didn't tell their coworkers!

I haven't had to tell anyone because I am a teacher and had the surgery over the summer. I'm not sure how I will handle it when I go back to school in a few weeks. I really don't want co-workers to know because it would inevitably make its way to students. There are a lot of gossipers at my school!

I have only told a few people, because I don't want the negative responses I would get from some people. I didn't even want my kids to know, but they have both been to the spots with me over the summer so now they know!

When asked I will just tell people I am eating healthier and exercising which will all be true!

I wish I had a good support system but I don't. I am very grateful I have all of you!

I went out to eat with colleagues and ordered something I had eaten a few weeks prior but this time I'd just gotten a fill and it was BRUTAL. I had to excuse myself 4 times to go to the bathroom. I can see why the bulimia interventions could happen. Lol

I worked for an evil man who fired me when he found out that I had the surgery he said it was not necessary and that I took time off of work that wasn't medically necessary.. unbelievable!

I was open with my co workers we are really close at times I feel they were and are more supportive than some of my family also another co worker got the sleeve several months before I was banded and she was nervous about what people would think but after seeing the great support I received she became very open with her surgery so we continue to support each other.
