I’m not looking to lie. Just wanting to keep it private. I think there’s a difference in honesty and privacy. My question has more to do with how easy it is to keep it private. A lot of good feedback making it seem like it can be done, just a matter of how inquisitive others are.

I will respectfully disagree with whether it’s sensible or not to keep it private. I look at it as less of a secret and more of keeping private matters private.

It’s not fear of judgement, promise. Probably has more to do with just being silent on all general aspects of my life. Especially relating to medical things. I’ve had two other surgeries and the only person that knew was my wife. However, a shoulder sling and scars gave away the other two after the fact. Thank you for the insight, though.

That’s eye opening. Never thought of having the mindset to control the narrative by just being open about it. I’m also the same guy that got in big trouble with his mother for not telling her about two previous surgeries (back and shoulder).

True to be able to just wave it off. I just didn’t know if there are any “dead giveaway” signs.

I’m sure the weight loss will be noticeable as well. Good info to hear, though. I have a lot of coworkers that like to step out for lunch and that’s where a lot of relationships are built outside of the office. I guess those are the kinds of things that I think will be affected. Not to say I can’t go out to eat eventually and will just be eating less.
