I too am actually dealing with the dilemma of who do I tell and who do I not tell. I have told a couple of close friends who have been very supportive of my decision to have surgery. One of those friends has intiated the process now to have surgery herself.
There are other friends who I have chosen not to tell about the surgery. I don't need the added stress of having to deal with their negative reactions.
The only family that knows of my decision is my husband. We know at some point that an explanation will be needed but have chosen to cross that bridge when we get there. Again I don't need the added stress of dealing with my family's opinions at the time.
Maybe I am wrong in chosing to deal with the situation in this way but it is something I am at peace with and that is what matters. It is a very personal decision in my opinion.
