Poll: WLS Secret
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.

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.

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.
