Why do I see some many people "ashamed" of their surgery?? My dad comments about how I should keep my experience private. NO. I am proud of myself for realizing that I had a problem and I DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I did not just sit and roll around in pity. I got off my Ass and DID SOMETHING FOR ONCE. Sorry for my rant but I'm so tired of this being considered shameful. I understand if people want to keep it private. That's your business. But by all means don't be ashamed.

I was very lucky my mom was like Martin you is fat you need to be healthy cut your stomach out or else! And so I did lol. I'm not ashamed I wanted it be a secret but when ppl ask how I lost weight I say diet exercise and at the end blurt out surgery ..... I can't help it lol.

Preach on! I totally agree with you. I am very proud of the decision I made. I have told everyone. This is a life changing choice that we made so we could have a healthier life.

I guess I haven't seen the posts where people aren't sharing because of shame. Could you point me to some of them?

Thanks.
