Tanya - Good luck on your surgery. The hardest part I have so far is drinking the liquids after surgery. But you got to do what you got to do. As far as the work people...i kept my surgery quiet too - no one at work knows except for my manager and he kept it quiet. At least as far as i know. But for you they will notice very soon since Bypass patients lose weight faster. Good luck again and keep that positive attitude.
