I am relatively young person (as in my early 20's) having vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I have a younger sister (3 years old) and another sibling on the way. I am in college getting my degree and hopefully later go to medical school. When I decided to get this surgery I did not want to tell anyone because I know my family and most of my friends. They would have tried to stop me from getting it, and honestly I feel like this is the best thing for me. I am really turning my life around. Now I haven't figured out how to tell them, but I will tell them when they ask me how I am loosing the weight so fast. I am a pretty chill and down to earth girl. I like going out with my friends and dancing. I don't want a relationship right now, I want to focus on losing the weight. I wouldn't mind having a person to go workout with though, or go catch movies, dating or simple talk to.  Most of my friends will never understand what I went through and why I decided to do this. Which is why I can't talk to them about being so overweight.
