At work, I just told everyone I will be out for a little while. I've preparing for the weeks of me being gone.  I let people ask why or where I'm going. I never volunteer information. I told a few ppl I'd be out for WLS and most ppl are very supportive. They ask questions and seem very understanding that it's for my health. One person asked how they can go about having the surgery. I'm semi-private. I don't try to hide anything. The way I figure things is that I'm a grown woman. Whatever I do with my body is my business no matter who likes it or not.
