But, I've always felt that once I get to my goal, I will share what I've done with anyone who wants to hear.
IMO, it's a lot harder for them to tell their stories when you're standing in front of them weighing 130 lbs.
But...
When people that don't know I had surgery compliment me on my loss, they never fail to ask, "What are you doing???" And I'm honest about it with them. The reaction is usually, "Really? Did you have the bypass?" So I explain a little about VSG. It's usually a very engaging conversation that ends with, "Good for you Vic, keep up the good work!"
I'm lucky in that I haven't come up against any negativity at all from anyone. Now what they say behind my back might be something different, but let 'em talk! ;)
