i’m getting gastric bypass surgery. ive been overweight my whole life despite dieting, exercising, and having an eating disorder. even when i had an eating disorder and lost 80 lbs in 3 months, i was still considered overweight. i spoke to my doctor about wanting this surgery and she agreed it’d be a good choice for me and immediately sent out a referral to my insurance. my boyfriend of 5 months likes that i’m overweight, but i know he likes all body types as well so i know he wont be disappointed about me losing weight. BUT, at the same time, it is a big life change for me and he might want to know about it. i feel uncomfortable telling him about it because it doesn’t seem *that* important. it’s basically just like announcing you’re going on a diet or joining a gym. should i even tell him? how do i even tell him?
