I went on my Wednesday morning stroll through the plant and was flagged down by an employee on the floor and she says .....  "Girl, we have all been talking about you..not just a few...but a bunch of us and we want to know how you are doing it.  We think you look great and you look HAPPY!  What are you doing?"   So I told her that it was a long story and she quickly tells me she has plenty of time.  Thinking that simple answer would put her off and she wouldn't ask anything else....yeah right?  I just spit it out.... I had surgery.  Then the questions came... "What kind? When? Is it easy?"  I told her it was the hardest thing I had ever done but it was well worth every minute of it.  I'm sure that it will spread like wild fire and I'm sure that they will all have a good discussion about it at lunch, but I did it!  Why should I be ashamed or feel judged because I did what was best for ME?  I won't anymore.  My secret is out.

Good for you! Now you won't have to carry that albatross around your neck any longer.

You are correct.

 WTG! Be proud you did this for you! Who cares what they say and you never know someone who needs to have the surgery may see how well you are doing and have the strength to start the process.

I just wish I wasn't so self-conscious.  Now I feel like they are discussing it or watching me.  Is she going to gain it back? 

 Hell no your not..you are a strong women and if you gain some back you will know how to get it off again. And you have all of us to help!

Awwww.....I love all of you so much!  I wouldn't be able to make it without you.

That will be even more motivation to hold the line. They will watch but just do what you know is right and you'll show them such wonders they won't be able to stand it!
Hugs,
Lana

I hope and pray that you are right.  I can't screw up now!!!  People are watching. 

Congrats. Even before my revision I told anyone that even remotely was interested. Since telling them 2 more people at my work have had surgery and one more is in the works. They just didn't think our insurance would pay for it.
