How did you tell your loved ones you were having WLS? How did they react? I wonder if it even came close to the drama that ensued when Miranda made her big announcement before her family.

Check it out on this week's Miranda episode!

Good episode! I think most of my family responded like Gail - were very supportive but wanted to know all about it and what changes they could help me with. However, my mother was jealous. She's got her own issues and really hurt me when she called me & said "I hate that you're doing this". But now that I've lost so much weight, all of a sudden she's so interested and flattering. Very suspect. She usually flatters me when she wants something. Isn't that something Katty would do?

The only family I have is an older brother and my father. My father was totally unsuportive and actually mocked me. Since I've failed at lapband which he has no trouble bringing up, I've decided not to tellhim about my revision to RNY. My brother on the other hand was curious and has also seen me fail and I'm not sure what he thinks but I've decided not to tell him either. I live 40 miles away from both of them so I'm not even telling them I'm going in the hospital.

Yeah that Katty is a piece of work! How did she come from such sweet parents?

My mom was more like Dick. She didn't pay much attention to the process, skipped my pre-op class (where she was asked directly by the bariatric coordinator to attend as she was my support person), decided to tie up my last few pre-op days redecorating her basement, in the meantime refusing to check out a painful lump in her breast for which she had to go to the ER on my second day home post-op, leaving me with two kids, two bassett hounds and a cat.

Yeah. I could tell stories. Wait...I do!

Good one Nik.!! Thanks for the entertainment. I am a little disapointed she didn't pick RNY, so I'd be better able to relate to her. Oh well.....

I still like Chelsea. She's real...no matter what.

I think you'll be able to relate to her no matter what surgery she gets.

Working with the entire bariatric community as I've been blessed to do, I find there are more similarities between the surgery types than we think.
