If you don't intend to tell them the truth behind your weightloss then have some fun with it. Make up some horrible disease that would make them very uncomfortable asking more questions. You have cancer but are too devastated to talk about it. You got a parasite from eating at X restaurant and the doctors can't figure out how to kill it. Internal flesh eating bacteria has destroyed most of your GI tract. My brother in law does this all the time when people ask inappropriate questions and it's great entertainment to watch their reactions.

Hahaa!! That's too funny! I should have done that, but I was so exited that I told a bunch of people already.

You will get wonderful compliments on how great you look. Some people won't know why you look so good so they may ask if you style your hair different, etc. just be honest. Tell people what you did for yourself. I have found that when you are honest, people don't know how to handle it and they end up admiring you for taking the steps to be healthy! And if you get negative comments-- Fuck them! You are on the road to recovery and the best is yet to come!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
