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.
