Busted!

[Agnes]

I accidentally left a book about wls in my kitchen at work and the one person who I absolutely didn't want to know picked it up. She's not know for being able to keep things quiet. Let the whispering and emails begin

I haven't told anyone that I was having the op. I've just told them that I was having a minor stomach op.

I've found that when you tell people at work, you get an amazing amount of support! At least I am.... My coworkers have been really great! You might be surprised how much easier it is when it's out in the open. Just my opinion of course....

Aw good luck Hun hope there all positive n if not sod um ur doin it for u not them x

Ooooops ... You will have to wait to see if she lets the cat out of the bag & be ready for the fallout. Forewarned is forearmed honey & people can be really nice so don't assume it will all be negative. Plus at the end of the day, it is none of their business xx

Don't think she really took in what the book was about. She thinks it a diet book. Result!
I plan on letting people know after the fact. I work with some really opinionated people but fortunately they do all mean well. So I'm sure all will be well.

Your op is your business. I had to tell my boss because I had no choice but did not want to. I was very unwell before I had my op and people could see that so when I went off to have my surgery although no one knew what I was going to have it came as no surprise I was having something done.

When I got back no one said a word. I was off for four months because of the complications I had and it got out that something had gone wrong. No one has dared to ask me anything and that suits me. If you feel ocmfortable then say nothing and leave them to gossip and speculate if they want to.

tranquil x

I was busted by my five yr old grandson. My son had told him (and his twin brother) about my op for some reason (I was NOT impressed!) so once he came running to me telling me he knew why I was getting thinner, I thought I'd best tell the other grandma (ie my daughter in law's mum). I haven't regretted telling anyone I've told so far.

One friend I wasn't planning to tell saw me at a "do" and phoned me the next day asking me if I'd had a gastric band fitted. She was so amazed at how good I looked. Anyway I was caught on the hop so said no, (well I haven't, it's a sleeve) but after, I thought I had misled her so I went over to hers and came clean. She was great.

I wud smack her over the head wiv the book as that's spiteful if she starts that and I'd damn well call in hr as that amounts to bullying,hope she don't use it for the wrong reasons Hun gl x x

i'm worried about one person at work she was off when i went off for my op and is the workplace bully and big mouth she has already had a warning about being nasty to me because i have to use a walking stick , but everyone at work knows i've had it done and they're very supportive but i know when i go back she will be making snide remarks especially when i start to get much slimmer

 

[anna2131]

Well how can company's allow this if she has proven to be a bully b4 especially by having a warning ,don't sit and take it Hun just report the bit hx x

Make sure you write down every incident that happens with dates and time. By law your place of work has to do something if you make a complaint.

"sod em!".....i can only speak from experience, but my work mates have been fantastic, i have only been in my job for a year, but i told them at the interview that i was planning on surgery,and you could not wish for nicer people, they want to know everything (in a nice way !)...i had my bypass 2 weeks ago and even as i was comming round from the anesthetic back on the ward, i started to receive txt messages and phone calls from them.. good luck with everything.x

i have only told 2 friends and my immediate family as in kids, sister and hubby.


the reason i havent told anyone, is - it is a very personal operation - and - when you tell people, its ALL they want to talk about - and frankly I just want to be normal and get on with my life - i dont want to have to keep explaining why i cant loose weight alone - why i had it done, why it is NOT the easy option but the hardest - clearly the easiest would be to stay as we are.

its life changing - and each of us is on a journey for the rest of our lives - its the rest of the world who has a problem, we know what ours is and are dealing with it - and other people are going to be jealous when we are slim and beautiful - bring it on!!!!!!!!!

i always say she's like rizzo out of grease she has a little band of pals and is the loudest brashest and likes to be centre of attention , trouble is we are in same team as are her pals but they are not like her they just tut and don't say anything really, i know i am a softie but can't move teams because i can't work upstairs due to having bad arthiritis and using a stick anyway not to worry i'm big enough and ugly enough to cope x thanks for the support though
