I am not ashamed of what I have done but I don't wear it on my sleeve either. You eating healthy should be enough of an answer to them in the beginning and later on, when you have known them enough, you can tell them.
If you treat this procedure as awkward and something to be judged for, people will judge you but if you take it as just another fact of life, they will do the same.
I wouldn't hide it from anyone unless I had good reason to but I wouldn't tell them in the beginning and scare them off with it.
In the beginning, tell them you are on a diet. When you know that they are going to be a part of your life for longer than a couple of months, share your experience. Tell them all they need to know.

      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.
