the count down begins only 7 more days till surgery

I can't wait. I am so excited. Not too nervous (yet). The christmas festivities began for us today. First celebration with hubby's family for the holiday and I still haven't told anyone about my upcomming surgery. At first I didn't want to say anything untill I had a date, and now I don't want to say anything at all. I just feel like I don't need to hear the 'thats the easy way out' or 'if you would just go on a diet' or 'you have such a pretty face'. I just don't need that now. I have too many other things going on in my life. Any suggestions. I guess I could tell them after the fact that i had a hernia repair???? It just seems so personal. I don't want to lie, but I feel like it is my business. HELP

Your right it really is no ones business--I got a lot of "but your not that big" yeah right--but anyway it is your decison to tell people if you want--no one can tell how anyone will react--I noticed myself telling everyone--even the grocery store clerk--I was so excited! Good luck!! You'll be in my thought ont he 29th!

I don't know if you'll see this message before you leave...but GOOD LUCKKKKKKK!! It will go great and you'll be on the mend soon After you go through the surgery and the aftercare you'll be able to confidently tell anyone that it is definitely NOT THE EASY WAY OUT! It's hard work, harder than anything I've ever done, but it is so worth it. If people think that it is not hard work, then I'd like to see them go through it, I think they'd change their tune! Hang in there, ~Lynn
