Friends and family reaction your wls surgery

[xoxococojay 842]

The only people I told are the ones I live with...and I wouldn't have told them if I had a choice.

I only took two days off work (Wednesday surgery day, the day after, Fridays are work- from- home for the entire office, back on Monday), so no one at all suspected I had surgery of any kind. They just see me watching what I eat and exercising.

I hate discussing my private life with anyone not involved in it, so for me silence has been golden.

I had the bypass. I was really fortunate that I was otherwise healthy and heal quickly, and I had no complications. I'm now 70 pounds down, I look and feel great, and no one at all has assumed I had WLS.

I'm not ashamed of it; I'd tell if asked, but my office is very much focused on weight and appearance (I work in media), and all discussions center around Crossfit and what everyone is eating. I do not want to be the center of discussions for months or years.
