re: "that they will know that my weight was lost becasue I had this not because of my own willpower.."

!) AS IF gained the weight in the first place was a matter of "will power"

2) AS IF WLS is any less important than any other life saving surgery...in fact, what IS their opinion on 'unnatural' coronary by-pass or gall bladder surgery?

3) AS IF taking insulin daily for decades were 'natural'...

4)AS IF taking blood pressure medication were 'natural'...

5) AS IF taking appropriate steps to achieve what is otherwise not 'natural'....

6) AS IF NOT taking any kind of medication for pain, etc. is a matter of will power...

7) AS IF it were not a choice requiring personal dedication and in fact a LOT of WILL POWER.... :angry :angry :angry :angry :angry GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana ok I'm all better now.....

Once I have my band AND start to loose weight, I will be more inclined to share my journey with others, but until I start to loose weight and convince myself and know I can do it, only my family will know. I've had too many non loosing experiences (diets) so mums the word until the scales say I've lost...so....shhhhh everyone.

Not to mention, if you're like me and self paying, heck yea, I want everyone to know I spent that kind of money on me, cause I'm worth it!
