Who did I tell that I was having Bariatric Surgery
Apr 18, 2010
I told everyone! At my work I took it slow and told our HR person first. I felt I should cover my butt and be sure that I was a loud to talk about such personal stuff. She was great about it and helped me explain it to my boss. I was really medical about it. I explained it as I have a medical problem, I told them I was refered by my family Doctor to an obesity clinic to help me with my obesity. I explained that I was assigned at team which included a dietician, OT, PT, nurse, psychologist and surgeon. They know that along with education and theraphy my team feels that I will be the most successful at losing the weight and keeping it off with bariatric surgery. My work is really supportive and they want me to do what ever I need to do inorder to be happy and healthy. I figured that people are eventually going to start asking me how I lost weight and I better have an answer.I find some people want to know more and have a lot of questions. Some people don't have any questions and just wish me luck When I make it about my health most people are very supportive. So far I have only had a couple of people tell me I should not do it and they were mostly just concerned about me altering my insides so much or they really did not know much about modern bariatric surgery only stories they heard as a kid about people who got there stomach stappled.
I find talking about it openly and honestly helps me to stay focused and provides me with a lot of support.
