nancybrn 1 Posted December 24, 2012 On 12/12/12 I had a RNY surgery to lose 120 lbs. I have a small skin infection on Keflex for otherwise doing as expected. I go back to work on 1/13/13 and I hope I will be able to keep the secret. I went to surgery with only my husband and my nephew knowing,.. my kids and my mother dont even know. I am looking forward to some help and some tips from these forums. Thank you Nancy 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

worm2872 635 Posted December 26, 2012 Hi Nancy!! Welcome! I told very few people too. I was off a month as well and so far no one has said anything to me. I only lost about 23 pounds so nothing drastic which is good. This is a great place. Never hesitate to ask a question or reach out for support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snow25 188 Posted December 27, 2012 Congrats Nancy on beginning your journey! Hope you are healing nicely. I was trying to keep this a secret at work. I had only told the teachers on my team... However, you know how that goes. Word had gotten out. I'm okay with that. Good luck with everything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khuff 12 Posted January 1, 2013 You will find great support here Nancy. I love reading everyones experiences good and bad. It's the best way to find out everything. Hope you heal soon. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica9190 127 Posted January 2, 2013 Hi Nancy. I haven't told anyone either. My surgery is Jan 10 and my work people know I'm having stomach surgery but no details. I work with a lot if mean spirited people and my boss would not be happy with me putting our department in a bind for an "elective" surgery. Good luck to you and God bless.

JLeiter23 0 Posted January 2, 2013 I am with you on the not telling many people. For the few people that know they are very supportive but the subject itself is hard to bring up with my extended family. Good luck with your journey and keep all of us updated on your results.
