I told my coworkers. They are surprisingly supportive and positive. I was expecting negativity. One told me she is interested in doing so. WOW!!!

It is absolutely amazing isn't it? I felt so good after I told everyone. I got tons of support and well wishes. I expected people to be rude I guess. But the've all been great! And it made me feel super empowered and like I was owning my journey. You know what I mean?

Way to go ladies! :-) No one should bring us down on our journey to health.

I did not tell everyone, just the few close people I work with, my family and a few BFF's. I got total support from everyone, all said congrats and good luck on your journey - it was a nice feeling

We are overseas stationed in England hubby's military. I have only told a few friends back in the states and my parents. I told my boss and a few friends here as well some of my English coworkers were a bit crappy, but there jerks anyway. I haven't posted it full on but I bet I'd feel better if I did. I did run into a woman a few weeks ago that I started the process with and she was really rude she started out wow you look great then it was I decided not to have that surgery cause I love my family and don't want to die. She went on to tell me I can't take meds and if I get sick I could die. It took all I had to be professional we were at the school. I smiled and softly said I think you might have your information confused but this isn't for everyone and left it at that but boy I was fuming inside.

I've told a bunch of people close friends only had one who was negative about it saying ur not that big and u can do it on your own u don't need surgery my response was so have u quit smoking yet as she always says she is going to quit lol that ended that conversation most of all my wife is supportive and that's what really matters and I should have a surgery date within a month so looking forward to my journey and new life
