So far two people know of my decision to have lap band surgery: my husband and my mother. My husband is very supportive, and dutifully listens to me babble on about the surgery and procedures and such as a way of releasing my anxiety and excitement. My mother criticized me for choosing something “so drastic”, lectured me on how easy it is to lose weight, and then turned around and signed her 265 lbs. self up for the same info session. (This is me rolling my eyes.)
I don’t plan on telling anyone else until it gets closer to procedure time. And even then, aside from a few close friends, no one really needs to know. Of course, if the subject me losing weight comes up, then I’ll be happy to inform them of my choice of weight loss and improvement of my life.
