At first I only told my parents I was thinking about banding after I forked out $600 for Jenny Craig (not incl. food) and failed, after a succession of other diet failures. They were very supportive. My sister found a lap band book on my desk at home and started asking questions with doubt until I took her along to an information night and she was totally sold.<br /><br />I avoided Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862647761810468815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943729850222558650.post-29445744008541830132010-09-13T11:43:32.869-07:002010-09-13T11:43:32.869-07:00Thanks everyone for your comments :) Seems as thou...Thanks everyone for your comments :) Seems as though most of us has dealt with who to tell.

I told my family, friends and coworkers. They were all very supportive. If casual friends notice my weight loss and ask how I did it, I will tell them.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943729850222558650.post-38982995978361527192010-09-12T06:00:23.409-07:002010-09-12T06:00:23.409-07:00Hiya Lynne!

We have very similar goals...but it looks like you will have surgery sooner then me! :) The biggest reason for me doing this is fertility and health (and looks of course). But we've had a few miscarriages and I figured that I better get healthy just in case that prevents me from having another...however if we don't get preggers then I want to be skinny-er! <br /><br />I have Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033260534204205166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943729850222558650.post-10609512747259994772010-09-11T20:50:49.400-07:002010-09-11T20:50:49.400-07:00I told my family (parents, brother, sis-in-law) an...I told my family (parents, brother, sis-in-law) and my close girlfriends (about eight of them). I'm not working now (if I was, I probably wouldn't tell everyone, just maybe if I was close to someone). There were several people I didn't tell. I mean, I WILL be eating healthier and exercising, so if people ask how I'm losing weight and I say that, it's really true.
