banding & dealing with work?

[TracyinKS 7]

I don't really view NOT telling my boss as a lie........ it's just simply none of his business.... I may end up telling him after I've lost weight, but for now it would be 8 hours a day of him sitting accross my desk wanting to talk about it, or tease me, or tell me that it is stupid waste of money and every other uneducated opinion he could muster... I've learned this lesson the hard way.... He still brings up things I've told him about my personal life that were pertinant 5 years ago, he is very judgmental.. hell he even judges my parents (because I am divorced) The list goes on an on..... I agree with the the person who said, YOU KNOW YOUR COWORKERS BEST..... this is good advice to remember.

Some people are not that understanding though. I don't want people worrying about me. I really don't want them to say, I told you so!

I was upfront from the beginning with my immediate boss and confided in my closest coworkers. As the weight loss became noticable and people asked, I told them I'd had the surgery.

I'm not a good liar and my memory stinks. Eventually, I figured, word would get out. I didn't want people to snicker behind my back about some story I'd made up.

It's a lapband, not a heroin addiction. I'm not ashamed to tell people if they ask.
