Relationships: I am not telling my extended family members about my surgery....

[endzone 55]

Your kids are going to have to know in the end. Are you going to hide being in the hospital and recovering? The change in your eating patterns and all of that?

I am getting the band so no hospital stay, just day surgery while they are at school.

Oh I see... Well good luck with your surgery!

I say do what you feel is best for you. They really don't have to know, especially since they already have a history of being non-supportive. I wish you all the best on your journey.

I did not tell anyone except my long time boyfriend of 9 yrs. Not even my children know because if they did everyone would know by now. Lol. It took a while to get to the green zone so it was an easy transition from eating healthy and working out a lot to not being able to eat hardly at all. I would try to avoid eating with people that don't know, I have been criticized by a lot of friends about my lack of appetite and how I am starving myself and/or share with your husband and it won't look so bad when your just picking at your food. Soup it always a good alternative when ordering.

Just a few people know and those who had to know like MIL that I was in the hospital I told her I'm having my gallblader and stones out, which is true! Just didn't share the rest.
