Are you on crack?
I told my KEY Club officers (I'm their advisor) because they are the type of people to start worring and think that I had cancer or something and start fundraising for me. They are the world's best kids and I wouldn't trade any of them!
I've also told some co-workers. The rest I've told I'm just on a strict diet and exercise program (this way they leave me alone & don't try to get me to cheat).

I have not been asked if I am on crack. But I have been asked twice " Are you sick?'. This question has taken me off guard because I don't look unhealthy. I think people don't know how to explain dramatic weight loss. I should have responded " Oh no I am not sick, I am addicted to crack!" Just kidding. Good luck with your journey!
At first I did not tell anyone. But once I did, several people ask in private about the sleeve. 3 are getting it done. One cried when she realized she now she had a way out of being fat. Nobody knows about the sleeve. We are living proof this is a gift. Spread the word. When asked tell them your story.

I have a coworker who had a very rare allergic reaction to the irradiation of a benign thyroid tumor. Throat scarring led to the insertion of a food tube and she had "weight loss surgery" without the surgery. She is more than 100 lbs. thinner. While it was unusual, there were ALL KINDS of rumors flying around.
I've told the coworkers I work with closely as well as a few friends. It is not a secret, but I don't want to deal with people telling me all I need is more willpower or that I'm not fat enough for the surgery. I may "carry my weight well," but trust me, I'm fat enough for the surgery. I will tell anyone who asks specifically, but it's sort of a private journey for me.

I posted about a week and a half ago about this very thing. My supervisor supposedly was going around saying he thought I was doing drugs to lose weight. I don't know if he meant illegal drugs, or weight-loss "drugs", but it upset me!! I have not chosen to tell everyone at work what I am doing. No one has come out and asked, but they sure do know how to start up rumors!
