I think its completely okay not to tell anyone. But if you feel you must, then maybe smudging the truth a little bit might be okay if that is something you would feel okay doing. Maybe mention your PCP suggested this type of surgery as an option and gave you information and you researched it and it seemed like something you wanted to do. I notice sometimes that if you tell people initially that a doctor mentioned it as opposed to you having brought it to the attention of your doctor first that they feel more inclined not to judge, because some people feel that if it comes from a doctor then it can't be bad. But not everyone thinks that way about doctors so it depends on the person you're talking to.

Just a thought. I'm excited for you. I hope everything went okay and you are on your way to success!

It's all up to u if u wanna tell anyone. An so true who cares what they su about it. It's your health that matters and how u feel. I've only told my husband and mom. My whole whole is to be able to run around with my 22 month old an husband at the park without being so tired.

I'm getting the sleeve but don't have a surgery date yet, hopefully the beginning of December. I'm a nurse and am doing this proactively to prevent complications such as diabetes and sleep apnea. My journey started when I mentioned the lap band to my best friend and she was super supportive of the idea. Then I pursued more information thus deciding on the sleeve. I've told my sisters and Dad about my plans for surgery but am debating telling my Mom until I have a date for surgery. I dont have her influencing my decision or gossiping with other friends/family members. After surgery I'll tell others if they ask, but really its nobody's business.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
