I too struggle with this, when I find out for sure I am having the surgery. I work as a manager of an aquatic centre, thus small, skinny staff in bathing suits all the time. Only one person in our whole facility that is slightly overweight, except me who has over 150 lbs to loose. We are very close knit, yet I am scared that they won't understand, but I really think when they work with me after the surgery, they will be supportive. So, I am going to tell them I am having surgery done and when I come back to work, I am going to tell them all at a staff meeting so that they understand and that they can create a supportive environment for me. I think that they will be more understanding and accepting AFTER I have it done than before...they will try and talk me out of it, tell me to eat less, exercise more etc....They don't understand that I have been dealing with this for many, many years. I have made up my mind on the surgery and looking forward to a future where I can put myself first.
