  8. Either brush up on your Spanish or make sure you have a translator on your phone... After your doc and RN leave for the night you will only have Spanish speaking staff... My friend was sleeved by Alvarez in Mexico she never had issues other than the language barrier after he and his staff left... Good luck! You will be great!
  9. GO RAVENS!! I'm going to two party's so I'm taking Protein shakes... I'm preop and less than 6 weeks til surgery. I have been thinking on how I'm gonna handle all the good today..

  10. I've been on fmla before and yes but it goes to HR and your boss does not see it. It's confidential. Fmla protects your job.
  11. Keep your head up... This is not a race... Remember for 3-6 months you will be swollen.... It will come off... Also I agree with dealing with deployment and surgery... Get to a physcologist ASAP! Save your self some headache... Journal your feelings about food, deployment, diets, children everything... Just start writing don't think about what your going to say and it will come out you will feel better... Keep us posted!

  19. OMG! I work nights and I work thur nights so I have to wait each week for Friday before work to watch it on demand or on the abc app on my phone. I got addicted last year thank you Netflix... I love this show! I'm also hooked to private practice. I miss Mark... Hmmmmm he was yummy!
  20. Chin up... You can not live your life by rule of others. You are doing this because you want to have a healthier life. The man in that video used a personal trainer as his tool, you are using surgery as your tool... (Your boss is just a tool!) This is important to you that's what matters... Don't let them spoil your excitement!!
