I can't wait to wear a naughty halloween costume!

Or how about the ones that say, "you can't eat that" how the hell do they know what I can and cannot eat. I have actually had people stop talking to me at work over the amount of weight I have lost. Oh well then they were not my true friend.

11 days away from my sleeve. I am so nervous. However if you were to ask me why I am nervous you would be surprised to hear it is not of dying but of being able to keep my stomach small and not back to large. I am an emotional eater, happy, sad, and mad, you name the emotion, and I can eat for it.

I am right there with you DallasMomof Twins. I am 11 days away. Not sure if I am excited or scared as heck

Hi,

I think each person is different. Before my surgery I kept reading post from people that went back to work about 2 weeks after surgery. So that's what I planned to do. But, I am going to be out of work for 3 weeks and 2 days. I ended up with a lot of swelling after surgery and my one night stay in the hospital turned into 6 nights. You just never know.

If I would have contacted HR first, I could have used my short term disability leave (starts after being out of work for 2 weeks-but you only get 66 and 1/3 % of your pay) and I could have saved some of my PTO. If you are going to be out more than two weeks, you should check with your HR department about FMLA and short term disability leave.
