Oh yeah that reminds me. When people at work (not the building where I told

one person) ask what I am doing to lose weight, I say low carb, which is true

as far as it goes, But People have complained about celebrities who claim to

lose weigh with diet and exercise, when the had WLS. Do y'all think I am

morally obligated to tell tthe whole truth when asked how I am losing weight?

Jody, I do not think it is anyone's business, unless you choose to tell them

about the surgery. People can be toooooo nebby at times!!!!!!! It is personal

decision....sherri

Jody,

I think it's truly personal and you're not " morally obligated " to tell

anyone ANYTHING about your personal life. It's your life....if you want

to keep it to yourself, do so. You don't owe anyone (but yourself)

anything.

Hi Jody,

No you do not have to tell anyone. It is your choice, I have not told

anyone, when they say " your losing weight " I say yes! And thats it.

If they ask how I say " just working at it " .

I agree... YOU decide who you want to tell. End of story.

My friend only told two family members about her surgery before she had

it. And that was after I begged her to please tell since (selfishly) I needed

someone at the hospital with me while I was waiting for her to come out of

surgery.

She also told her employer since she would have to take time off from work

afterwards.

Ironically, now that she's three weeks post-op, she is perfectly comfortable

telling complete strangers about the surgery, but still won't tell those closest

to her. She's so open in fact, that last week during dinner at one of our

favorite restaurants (yes, she's already eating out) I made her promise never to

say the words " stapled my stomach and reconnected my intestines " to a waiter.

In the final analysis, only YOU have the right to decide what you're morally

obligated to do.

Warmest Regards,

Barb
