WLS stigma - did you 'cover up' your WLS?

[Guest guest]

Hi, all--

Question for you all: WLS obviously still holds a

pretty rotten stigma. Did anyone here try to hide the

fact that they had WLS, by saying perhaps that you had

a different surgery?

I don't know (and I know I need to work on this) that

I'm able to tell co-workers and acquaintences that I'm

having WLS... but I also don't know how I will explain

taking a 3-4 week leave of absence and coming back

smaller. On the one hand, its none of their business,

and on the other hand, I'm having surgery and people

are going to ask what for, so I need to be armed.

Thoughts?

Thanks, all!

Hugs,

nne
