Q1- I have told my children, my sisters, a few of my closest friends, my neighbor who is a nurse at the hospital where I will have my surgery. I don't plan on telling people that I don't have a close relationship with, that's just part of being an introvert and my comfort level with sharing personal information.
Q2- F
Q3- D, just turned 49- I will be fit by fifty!

I think its lying, plain and simple. People aren't stupid, if you lose 100+ lbs in a matter of months you are either ill or had surgery.

Be proud of your choice, maybe you will inspire someone else to save their life!!

No

Female

Turned 62 a couple of weeks ago

I've only had one person say 'anything' negative to me and my response was, '"Yeah, they told us there would be people like you and to try to avoid them". She hasnt had anything to say after that.

I figure the judgmental types had plenty of fodder for the 40 years I was obese - i just gave them something different to talk about.


Pre-Op Weight Loss 20 lbs ~~~~~ Surgery Weight 289

 Goal weight 180  ~~~~~~  6'0"

Month 1 (21 lbs) ~~~ Month 2 (10 lbs) ~~~ Month 3 (14 lbs) ~~~ Month 4 (12 lbs) ~~~ Month 5 (9 lbs) ~~~ Month 6 (11 lbs) ~~~ Month 7 (10 lbs) ~~~~ Month 8 (8 lbs) ~~~ Month 9 (9 lbs) ~~~ Month 10 (6 lbs)

Goal Reached in 10 months

1. No - I don't blurt it out, but if people ask what I am doing to lose the weight, I tell them that I had surgery. I also add that WLS is a tool and I mus****ch what I eat and exercise in order to succeed. I didn't tell a lot of people I was having the surgery before hand mostly because I didn't want anyone trying to convince me otherwise when I had already made up my mind.
