Hey All, Hopefully I will be starting a new job soon and I am also expecting to be sleeved in Oct or Early Nov. That wont be 90 days of work and I wont have any vacation time (obviously)....what should I tell the job? Because there is NO WAY I am postponing surgery...Can they fire me? Being out of work this long (4 months) I am anxious to work again, however, I have been waiting on surgery forever!!! I am too close to wait!!!

Thanks Everybody, I am glad that I am not the only one....I am trying to make better choices now, but I have the appetite of a newborn....every 2 hours Im shoving something down my pie hole!!!

Congrats Sassy!!! Good Luck too....I wish it was me but my day is coming!! Thanks for the input....

It seems as if, since I am so close to getting approved and getting my date, I have been trying to eat every thing in sight!! I have been eating all kinds of sweets and I am not even a real sweet eater. Its like since I know I wont be able to eat it soon, I am trying to eat all I can now. I think in the last week I have gained at least 5 pounds (at least I feel like I have). I dont want to weigh and confirm my thoughts. I feel like a drug addict that has committed to go into rehab but wants to get as high as possible before going.....smh....

Congrats!! I hope all went well :-)

Sending positive thoughts your way!!!!

Thanks for sharing this info!!

Thanks so much everyone!!!

Hello All... I saw my doc about 2 weeks ago. I will be seeing psych in about 2 weeks. After that I go back to my doc on 9/29/11. Hopefully meet with surgeon on same day. It is my wish that I am sleeved by my bday which is 11/4. I think that would be a great way to begin my personal new year.....So pls send positive thoughts and prayers my way so that I can get my sleeve!!!!! My doc did say that it should only take about 2 weeks for my ins to approve. So I am very hopeful!!

Hey Everyone, Its the poster formerly known as thinkingaboutvsg. Since deciding to proceede with vsg, I figured I should change my name to one that makes more sense.
