I have a question

When you first got your bariatric procedure done, were you going to live life openly about having it done or keep it to yourself and known only with close family and friends? I want to be open about it, and I’m not scared to share my progress with strangers on my socials. Still, the thought of my boyfriend's family knowing, as well as his friend's family, makes me cringe because they like to gossip. But I keep trying to remind myself that, regardless, I should live my life happily.
