Hi All,
I'm going for it! I'm having my sleeve in July! Here in the UK, Gastric Sleeves are relatively new and unless through personal experience, most people know nothing about them. Gastric Banding is known about here but people have 'interesting' opinions on the subject (it's almost as if having gastric surgery is classed as CHEATING and one should be able to lose weight by diet and exercise.) I know I'm doing the right thing (having yo-yo dieted hard for the whole of my adult life!) and want to avoid 'well-meaning people' trying to talk me out of it. On the other hand, I'm a rubbish liar and don't fancy the idea of keeping 'a big secret' for the rest of my life (too stressful!) My partner and parents know about it and are fully behind me. So should I be open about it (and accept that a lot of people will be negative about it) or should I keep it a secret??? All advice very gratefully received.
