ABarnett916X 12 Posted October 16, 2016 Well I started this journey a few weeks ago it's consumed my life I've researched an read ridiculous amounts! Told a few close friends and family all very supportive of me which I'm very happy about instead of negative reactions! My husband also is excited for me and going to the seminar Wednesday with me. However tho I know quit a few women dealing with a lot of the same issues iam Do u mention gastric sleeve surgery to them and be inspirational and supportive in there journey or do u keep it to urself because of reactions?? I haven't blasted my news on Fb or much else where because I want people to realize the dedication n hard work I went through! What's ur thoughts??!

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted October 16, 2016 Welcome and best of luck with your surgery. I am a fairly private person. I am open one-on-on with people individually, but I haven't/don't talk about my WLS on social media. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterflywarrior 241 Posted October 17, 2016 I've been pretty open despite so many ppl telling me about others who had it and gained all their weight back grrr and related negative stories. It's like really. Do you think that was the thing to share with me?? Lol I figure I rather be open bc they will see me eating different and loosing lots of weight and will ask questions so why not just tell them now but that's me idk. I also hope it will help others to change their lives too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
