I did! I'll be a loser as of 11/19. I found out on my way home from work on Friday. I don't know if it just hasn't sunken it yet or what but I'm not overjoyed or anything. I'm scared and I just want to get it over with. Did ANYONE else feel like this? It's "REAL" now and it all happend so fast. I know I'm making the right descision but it is still really hard. I mean going in to it everyone thinks "everything will be alright" until it's well, not; and then it's too late. I feel like I'm having such a stupid reaction to all this. I've only told my best friend, sisters, Mom, Aunt and Uncle who has also had the RNY. I'm just going to tell the rest of my frinds that I'm having my gallbladder removed because I feel pathetic and too embarrased to tell them. I REALLY don't want to tell anyone at my work, which I have to do tomorrow...does anyone have any advice for that one? I work for a small company and I *think* they will be supportive but me being gone is really going to put them out and I'm afraid that they will be mad at me for bailing on them for 3 weeks(do you think that's how long I should request off???) for something "elective". Sigh! Thanks for listening to me vent guys! P.S. I feel bad even posting this because of all the people out there that are fighting for they're lives to have the surgery and are so wrongfully getting met with challege after challege!

Awesome! I completely understand where you're coming from. I didn't tell anyone about the surgery until my one month surgiversary- and that was just my granma and aunt. I wasn't comfortable with telling anyone until recently... Like June! And I'm 22 months out! I felt it was a sign of weakness. I had to come with terms that I was strong enough to realize I needed an assistant and took control of my life.

Weight Loss Surgery most definately is NOT a sign of weakness. Obesity is a horrible epidemic in this country and we were merely proactive with our lives because we knew the dire consequences of our ways.

You are amazing, and you made an excellent decision in WLS. Remember that!

Yeah, I'm a private person to start with too! It's comforting to know that you finally feel comfortable telling people about your decision though, I hope the same will be true for me!!!

Your making the BEST choice of your life ever with this surgery!! Be proud when you tell them! But, you may not need three weeks off. Did you ask your doctor? It is such, for me, a painless surgery. I kept wondering if anything was even done to me. I had surgery on Thursday and was driving two hours one way to class by Wednesday. Holli

Oh my god, I'm praying that the same is true for me. I decided to go in to this expecting NOTHING less so maybe with everyones encouragement and my positive thoughts it will turn out that way. I just sit on my butt at work all day so I asked for 2 weeks off with a possibility of 3. Thanks for the advice girl!!!
