who did you tell?

[lyn 5]

I told one neighbor of mine and my husband, and daughter, who lives with us. I have not told any of my siblings as they all live in different states and we only see each other 1-2 times a year. I had made my mind up to have the surgery and didn't really need to hear all of the horror stories that they would dig up on the internet and what not. I didn't tell my office either, even though I did need to take time off from work, 2 weeks. I just filled out the appropriate paperwork it never asked what kind of surgery I was having and my surgeons office didn't mention it on the paperwork they filled out.

I do not regret my decision to not include everyone in my choices. I attend my Dr support group when I can which meets once a month and also get alot of support through this forum. When I see my family over the holidays I may have a different opinion but for now mum is the word. My inlaws came to visit us for 10 days and finally about the 8th or 9th day my mother in law said you really don't eat much anymore do you? I just told her I was trying to cut back on portions and she said, well it is working for you, that is great. I didn't have to go into a long explanation or anything.
