BigDaddyJoe 246 Posted February 15, 2013 Hi all, I decided to go through this post and try to make a list of people getting it done and the day they are doing it, in case you'd like to make a buddy. I did my best to include everyone. I didn't include anyone who had tentative days, or days they were 'hoping for'. Sorry if I left anyone out. Feel free to take it and edit it if I made any mistakes. 1 SKgirl27, Kaleen, racoon_439 2 Tryingtobringsexyback 3 4 Lmariewj, Leo815, Just1Girl, JeffNNJ, mattsbelly 5 MissFae, teetani 6 bringiton, Presher87 7 Mommielissa06, Jenniferg, ashley18, Misconduct, Bvl, krissj 8 Courtney, toya3901, pacificpeach, BigDaddyJoe 9 10 11 Caspinelli712 12 PeacockMama, onelessfatgirl 13 SerendipityHappens, adoptmom2_3, PressOnward 14 BigFatLoser 15 futuresleever 16 17 18 Canadagurl, AmandaRaeLeo 19 aneke26 20 BeBeSpArKLeS, Nicole2013, Kristy Giovanelli, busybeingme 21 Reneetrom 22 floridafd 23 24 25 Vsgbrandy77, youngtammy50 26 Thistlegirl 27 Oldnavee 28 Mlecompte 29 30 31 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanesMom 44 Posted February 15, 2013 Are ya'll telling everyone you're getting it done' date=' telling just a handful of friends/family, or keeping it completely secret? I've told about 10 ppl total. I just don't feel like advertising it all over FB etc. I don't really want to open myself up to potential negativity, you know? I'm sure once I drop all this weight within the first few months (6 months, 8 months, whatever) people will be asking how. I will probably tell the ones who specifically ask but I'm not going to be running around screaming the news.[/quote'] I posted on here asking the same question. So far I've told my parents, 3 sisters, long time boyfriend and my 2 very best friends, my Grandmother and my closest cousin. I don't plan on telling anyone else. I'm only 26 and I live in a town where everyone loves to gossip, the last thing I need is to be the topic of conversation. I'm luckily all the important people in my life have been nothing but supportive! Wishing you the best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacificpeach 32 Posted February 15, 2013 KanesMom, Hopefully when you are the topic of converstation it will be because you are looking so fabulous! And thanks BigDaddyJoe for putting together the list! Looks like we are on the same day!! I am trying to keep everyone straight. I start my pre op diet on my Friday your Thursday ( I am on the other side of dateline)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDaddyJoe 246 Posted February 15, 2013 Hi pacificpeach, yes, it looks like we are on the same day! I feel so in the minority on here being a man. Is it that less men get the surgery, or less men are on the forum? Anyway, my doctor only requires a one week pre-op diet. I wonder why there are so many variations as to how long they want you to diet before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacockMama 119 Posted February 15, 2013 Great list, bigdaddy! Thanks!! Kanesmom, I live in a VERY small town also. People usually know what everyone is doing before that person even knows it. Haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
