privacy

i just wanted to remind everyone that it up to each person to decide if they want to go public with the fact that they have had surgery.there is nothing worse than outting someone who doesnt want it known that they have had surgery.please becareful when discussing members of our group.i know of many of us have not made it common knowledge.

This is not directed at anyone.Just wanted to remind everyone.Also that would be the reason that our facebook groups are secret.

thank you

At the same time everyone should be aware that this board is public and accessible to anyone who does a search :-)

If you have had weighltoss surgery and are keeping your weightloss "tool"(Surgery) a secret then that is your personal choice. 

BUT please do not tell people that you are "now" loosing weight from diet and exercise.  You were given an added TOOL for for weightloss.  So please do let them know that there is other tools that you are using IN COMBINATION with Diet and Exercise.

 

Just my thoughts, but the world is full of Facebook, Google Searches and Gossipers!! Everything is public once posted on the internet.

 

Sorry if I have offended anyone, BUT this is my opinion and MINE to Voice.

Or my favorite- tell them it is a product you are selling, or a program you are following . There was one woman on the front cover of "People" magazine weight loss success stories ( you know the one every year around new years with " no weight loss surgery " )who claimed she used Atkins to lose over 100 lbs. she was outed as having gastric bypass. No idea why she would put herself on a magazine cover , knowing it could and probably would be found out.

I know a couple people who haven't been open but I know based on their " likes" and groups on fb, which are viewable even if the group is closed but not " secret" ( can be found in a search )
