Ok This just made me almost spit water all over my computer! Sorry I don't have any idea since I'm still pre-op but had to tell you I found this funny.

I am having surgery March 20th and just realized that is right before Easter. I realized I will need an excuse not to eat as much as normal or even completely miss it. I'm thinking I will be getting over a "stomach virus". But this got me wondering what other excuses have people thought of for getting off work or out of events for their surgery when they didn't want to or weren't ready to share the truth with others around them.

Good Luck! Hoping for a quick recovery for you!!

Ballermom I hope you get your call soon with your date so we can congratulate you too!

Congrats! Time is going to fly by! My surgery is scheduled for March too!

I am still post-op but when I asked about energy drinks that was a no no due to carbonation. Carbonation causes your sleeve to stretch. Hope you make it past this craving quickly!

Congrats! March 20th is my scheduled surgery date too!! Good Luck!!

Hi all, I just joined and I'm very excited. My PCP referred me to the surgeon on January 4th. I had my first appointment with him on January 15th. My paperwork was submitted to insurance on January 17th and I received the shocking call on January 18th. I was approved!! My surgery is schedule for March 20th!! I have only told my husband, sister,and boss I will tell others when i start losing weight but I don't want others opinions beforehand because its not their decision and I don't want them to try to persuade me not to go through with it!
