my thoughts exactly!!! i know this surgery will save my life and i am at a point that i need to do this for myself and family. i wish work did not have to be in the picture, but it does and when i do start to slim down, i figure people will talk if i am overweight and they will talk if i loose weight!! Good luck with your journey and my thoughts and prayers are with you!

thank you for the message. i am so glad there is such a great support system in place. you never know how people will take your weight loss and i am a really private person after being hurt by opeing up and being taken advantage of. a growing process, i guess. i am happy for you and hope things go great for the journey ahead.

thank you so much for your opinion!! being in the medical field, it is difficult to have any privacy these days and i have been only been with the company since May of 2010. I am hoping it will all turnout ok. thanks again.

i am having the vsg surgery in a few weeks and i do not want anyone at my work to know! Anyone been in this situation??? what did you tell your boss? what didn't you tell your boss? being in the medical field it is extremely difficult to lie about a reason i am having major surgery and will need 2 weeks off!! I am sure I am not the only one with this issue!!! Please help!!!

i am having the vsg done in the next few weeks and i do not want anyone from work to know about it. how do i get around letting them know i need 2 weeks off for major surgery and please don't ask me any questions!!! Has anyone been in this situation? what did you tell your job? how do you handle questions??? thanks-firbird
