I had Gastric sleeve an 10/24/12. Before surgery, I only told who I had to tell,and a few close friends. Now that I'm post op-I don't mind who knows. The reason I didn't want to tell before surgery is I didn't want any negative feedback. I knew this was the right choice for me and wasn't going to hear anyone telling me not to do it or that I didn't need it. I am only two weeks post op and feeling so excited about finally getting healthy!

When someone comments on my weight loss and asks how I did it...I tell them. I KNOW I wouldn't be able to do it by myself...so I give credit where it is due. :)

Mine was done 9 months ago and I've never had a problem telling anyone, or explaining what it entailed. I don't volunteer it out of the blue, but if the subject of weight or related things comes up it's a natural topic to talk about.

I am newly banded and tell those I am comfortable with, and not those others. I don't know if I will become more open as time progress' we will see.

Do you openly share that you have had surgery, tell a select few or keep it private? I am one week post-op and, to date, have have only shared with a few people who are close to me and a few at work. I suspect that as I lose weight, it will come up more and more and recognize that it would be naive to think that it will remain secret, I just have not figured out how to talk about it! Any thoughts? Is this a silly struggle or common or both?
