Need a fake surgery, dont want the little league moms to know



Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm having my bypass surgery in May, that's during little league season.

I don't want the moms there to know. But they will know something is up when I'm gone for awhile and come back sore etc. what other surgery can I say I had? Can't be gallbladder they know I don't have one. I just hate when people hear WLS they assume it's easy. So I was hopping for some ideas.

Oh.....I just saw that you are from NY...I have to amend my answer.....

Either hiatal hernia surgery OR

Dual middle fingers with squared up knuckles perpendicular to the index finger and the thumb extended horizontally so that the thumb and index fingers form a right angle. ( who is trying this as they read it?.....Lol) and also a " Go f*uck yourself" for an exclamation point!

I'm from CT and do a lot of work in NY so I feel qualified to offer this suggestion.:)

Sex reassignment. Tell them you now have the penis they've always hoped for.

It "slipped" that I was in the hospital, so I t told people my appendix bursted (did my research on a bursting appendix).

As far as the consistent weight loss, luckily for me I had 6 months to prepare for my surgery. I was already losing weight prior to going in for surgery. So it was easy for me to tell people I started working out at the gym. I'm glad the weight is not dramatically coming off cuz I tell people I do hard core work outs 4 days a week (I do go work out, but only three days and not HARD CORE) and I say I cut out rice, Pasta and junk food (not a lie). So they see I'm toning up. It's mostly true with a little "untrue" added to it. Lol

Then I change the subject. It's worked for six weeks :). That's my story and I'm sticking to it haha.

When I told my boss that I was having surgery, I just left it at that. No extra details.

Some people that had asked when I was sore it was just abdominal surgery and they didn't ask any further. Nothing has been asked lately. I wish the weight would fall off quicker but I'm also glad it is slow as it doesn't seem hugely drastic for anyone to ask me.

Why tell them anything? If someone asks simply tell them you were tending to a medical issue but I'm feeling much better, thanks! Leave it at that.

Just because someone asks, doesn't obligate you to answer. Keeping ones medical issues to oneself is your right and your choice and you are under no obligation to share it.

For me personally, the only people that know are my husband and one of my two sons. When people ask how much weight I've lost, I smile and say "a bunch." When they ask how I'm doing it, I tell them "I'm working really hard at it." That pretty much lets people know that this is not a topic up for discussion.

Your decision to improve your health will be the best gift you can give yourself! Congrats to you for taking that step!

Best of luck to you. You will love the new you! :)

I told the people I wAnted to know and the ones I didn't, I told them my back was out. Wasn't untrue as my back did go out being pulled from stretcher to OR table or somewhere in between. Since my back had a bad habit of that, no one questioned it. Plus, my coworkers gave me the due consideration with pt assignments during the initial healing phase. Just something we do.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
