Hello,
I was wondering if anyone post-op has chosen to keep this surgery private? and if they have had any issues with doing so?
I am still pre-op (waiting to meet the surgeon) and my husband and I both feel that keeping my decision to go forward with this surgery a private matter is what works best in our situation. Just wondering if others have done the same and what problems they have faced because of it. Also, tips on handle day-to-day situations without broadcasting this decision.
thanks

So looking at your profile page, you hav a BMI of 32.8. I'd guess that puts you around 5'2". To get to a BMI of 25, you need to lose 45 pounds.
Personally, I would not have weight loss surgery if I were 45 pounds overweight, but we all get to make our own decisions for ourselves. If you found a surgeon to do it and you want to have it done, then do it.
This is why so many people do not tell others they are having weight loss surgery.

"May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears."
I started at a BMI around 39, but was under 35 at the time of surgery, so I got the "you can do it without surgery" comments. Yes, I was good at losing weight and had been at or near goal many times in my life. But I always started back up immediately after the diet and ended up higher than I started. Hence ending up at 219 with BP which couldn't be brought low enough and pre-diabetes. I am at a lower weight now than EVER in my adult life and have stayed in this vicinity longer than ever before. I have also changed what I eat and when I eat completely, but wouldn't have been satisfied with the portions pre-WLS.
