    Time off work - selfish?

    Itsedical & confidential between the company &you , a violation for employers to tell co workers, your choices to discuss if comfortable with your choices. I told the truth afterwards because i didnt want to fall back into old ways my health, my choice to tell ppl their opinions didnt matter about my weight struggles.

    Smoking weed pre op

    I've recently found out that my former surgeon damaged my small intestine causing a small pocket, so when i eat some if my food goes there & backs up in throat . I vomit & get nausea multiple times daily each yime i eat, he also has been treating me for ulcers & reflux but i have neither, its all due to his gauging small intestine & never saying sorry plus i have only 1 staple now ,a new Dr had to remove it cause it was dangling & could have ripped my intestine also.
