Do you tell people that you have had weight loss surgery?

Only a few people knew before I had surgery and now I don't go around announcing it but if a friend asks how I lost the weight then I tell them, but if I'm not close to them I sort of feel like I don't owe it to them, I may say I had the help of a great nutritionist and doctor.

I am four years post- op three years maintaining. If you choose to let the cat out of the bag just be prepared for the negativity that comes with it. Unfortunately that's just how it is in the weight loss surgery community, I just choose not to listen to them, they are either jealous or they just don't have anything better to do. I choose joy and happiness over negativity. The only regret I have ever had is wishing I would've done the surgery sooner in my life. I do tell people that I have had the surgery because it's my trophy. I feel good about myself in the life I'm living, I'm proud of myself regardless of how they feel about me.
