Personal Matter?
I just found out tonight that my husband has told everyone about my surgery. His father called tonight and was casual about the whole thing. I did not want too many people to know, and honestly I wanted to tell them myself, when I was ready. He just blurted it out there and acted liek this surgery is no big deal. Then later tonight, one of his soldiers( husband is in the army) told me to take care of myself after the surgery. I told him I would and then he proceeded to tell me that i would need alot of pain meds for the type of surgery. So right there tells me my husband told him. I asked my husband if he has been telling people what surgery I am having and he responded with a yes.
Now dont get me wrong, I love that Im doing this, but shouldnt it be my decision on who I want to know and when I want to tell people!? Am I taking this to extreme? Anyways I just needed to vent because he did kind of hurt me, and my husband doesnt understand why its such a big deal!
UGHH men sometimes...
Anyways Goodnight!

I think everyone looks at it differently. I dont care personally who knows. Thats just me though. Im prod that I was am and did do something to help me be a healthier happier me. BUT, hehehe I do see where you want your personal private stuff just that, private! Its sad your hubby decided to tell everyone and didnt give you the chance to do it. Im sorry for you! And sometimes, I think people dont realize how private something like this can be! I have friends who have had wls and dont tell anyone, ever! SO I understand!
I think wls is much bigger to the person going through it than anyone else. My family and friends are all very casual about it. And that actually makes me feel more comfortable. But I don't think they would understand if I was more private about it. Because other people don't get it - they can't get it. Perhaps your husband is looking for support from others? I know it can be a life altering change for spouses too.
I have taken a very open approach to my surgery and am glad I have. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise? But I do see why it upset you.

I started at 324lbs and a size 26. After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011. My second daughter was born in September 2013. I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs. I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter. The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls. My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.
