How to come out

[cludgie 81]

Ok, so I am almost 7 months out, and 4 stone down, and love my sleeve, I am happy with my decision to get surgery, and feel that I no longer care what people think.

I'd not told anyone about my vsg, largely because it is personal, and also because I didnt need opinions swaying my journey.

I'm in a position where more and more often people are making comparisons "oh why dont you take a leaf out of Claire's book?" etc, and I refuse for other people to be made to feel bad by my weight loss.

So I think its time to come out, but I am not sure how to do it. I've not lied to people, but equally I've not told the whole story either.

For instance I have a group of friends on Fb who are all dieting together, and I feel a bit like I have betrayed them (although you all know how strict our diets still have to be.

Thought and suggestions warmly welcomed!

be honest. You have nothing to come out about. You have a tool that is working for you. They should be supportive if they are your friends. they will be envious that you have found a great tool that you are working with to your advantage to be healthier and happier. Educate them as to how the sleeve works. Good Luck. :-) You are worth it!!!

Just tell them what you did. It is a great tool. I am only 5 days out and am loving my sleeve already. Maybe it would be a good tool for them too.
