SalOdyssey 441 Posted June 22, 2016 How do you plan on explaining your weight loss after the surgery? Are you planning on telling people you had the surgery or another reason? I am on the fence on how I will explain it, especially since there are so many that criticize the surgery. Been very open. See my links below! Supports been amazing!!

I'm not ashamed of the surgery by any means, but If I decide to say eating healthier and making better choices it won't be a lie. I will cross that bridge when it happens.

Sent from my iPhone I completely agree. My immediate family knows and one close friend. I have already changed my eating habits and started exercising more. I am not ashamed that I am having the surgery. I'm very excited actually. I am a pretty private person though and didn't want to tell everyone about it. I started having digestive issues earlier this year and while my work knows I am going out for surgery, they don't know the specifics. I am kind of leaning towards leaving it like that.

Antzsarah 1 Posted June 22, 2016 I am scheduled for July 14th. My first choice for surgery was sleeve but the doctor recommended I do the RNY. That was in August 2015. Now he is concerned with the medications I take and feels I should go with the sleeve. I consulted my rheumatologist and he agrees the sleeve would provide better absorption of my medications. Now I need to wrap my mind around this 11th hour change. Either way, I lose (in a good way). Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
