Don't ask - don't tell!

I am having surgery on Monday May l4th. I have only told my immediate family (who live far away) and 2 close friends here. I don't want to lie to people when they start to notice my weight loss, but I also don't want to advertise the fact that I'm having wls. Some people can get nasty and jealous, and that's what I'm afraid of. I don't know what to tell my friends (aquaintances). Please help.

Congrats on yor up comming surgery. I would suggest if you dont want them to know then dont tell then. After your surgery just be honest about it and be yourself.

I have let the people i did not want to know I had lap-band just think I was doing weigh****chers and working out alot. If I eat out around them I always order food on the lap-band required foods, and if they ask questions I just say wanted to try something diffrent. Or say saving points for a special occasion! It works every time.Its my secret I don't want to share with those who are judgmental!

I didn't tell a lot of people about my lap-band. The couple I did tell I sometimes wish I didn't. I just say that I am trying to eat healthy and joined a gym. Then I change the topic. I try not to make a big deal about my weight.I learned people don't care that much. I alway made it a bigger deal. I like the weigh****chers idea. Good luck
