Default I told my best friend about my decision.
Some of you might remember this thread:

Fat and Proud!

Well I finally told her about my decision to have WLS. I totally underestimated her. She was so excited that I was doing it. She doesn't know too much about it but I explained a little. She told me she wants to watch me go through the whole process and if she likes what she sees and I am doing great she said she might look into it herself.

That was a big relief.

Wow! I'm so glad it went well! Someone on here once said something regarding the people that care in a negative way about you having surgery... Those that care, don't matter. Those that matter, won't care.

It always makes you feel better to have those you love supporting you! You just may be an inspiration to your best friend! Congrats on being strong enough to let your friend know what you were going to do!
