Sharing that you're having surgery

[SassyV 0]

I too am a lurker. I have never replied to a thread but this one is so supportive and up my alley. I only told 3 friends that I thought would be supportive. Two of these friends were great but one is skinny and so resentful. She keeps trying to see me to see if I have lost any weight and it puts pressure on me because I really haven't since I havent't had my first fill. My BMI was rather low but I had high blood sugar, high lipids, and high blood pressure. I went for my check up and the doctor said I was doing great and don't get discouraged about not losing weight until my fisrt fill. I am honestly sorry I told that one friend, I feel I should have waited until after I had lost significant weight and then told her. I can totally relate to many of you who have kept is secret. It is very personal especially if it has been a life long struggle.

Hi lessme,

I know how you feel. I told a close friend. She shared it with her entire family. Prior to my surgery I was out to dinner with this friend and her husband and out of the blue she started asking me about my surgery. I was so embarrassed. I couldn't believe she did that. Then, this past weekend I ran into her sister. She looked me up and down to see if I had lost any weight. She didn't comment, but I noticed her eyes. I have decided not to say much and to just let people begin to notice. At a work outing today, people started to notice. Yeah!
