Poll: WLS Secret
I want to do an informal, highly unscientific poll, with a few questions:
Q1: Do You Keep your Weight Loss Surgery a Secret?
Q2: Gender: M of F
Q3: Age Range: A: 18-29, B: 20-29, C: 30-39, D:40-49; E. 50-59, F: 60+
There have been many posters on here recently posting the "I don't want to tell anyone about my surgery, i'm a private person, i don't want to lie but I don't want to tell the truth" meme. I'm curious if it seems to be mainly the ladies that see it this way or if its a mix.
Let me know what you think. Heres my answers:
Q1: No
Q2: M
Q3: D

Q1: Do You Keep your Weight Loss Surgery a Secret?
I don't tell anyone, but I don't consider that keeping it a secret. If someone asked me, I wouldn't deny it.
Q2: Gender: F
Q3: Age Range: D:40-49
Based on other post on this topic, I'd also like to add to my response (not directly to rhearob) that if a person rather not share this information freely, that's their choice and their right. It doesn't mean they are ashamed, embarrassed, a liar or what have you. Different strokes for different folks. It leaves a slightly bitter taste in my mouth when folks post/say, "Oh, I've been open and upfront with my WLS from the beginning. I'm not ashamed to admit I had it done." Just because someone is not OPEN doesn't mean they are ashamed, or embarrassed.
