I am having surgery Monday...and this morning he asked me for my keys...I thought it was weird but I just got a new van so i thought he wanted to look at it.....ANYWAY

I went out there later and he had put tons of groceries in the back...tons of sugar free Jello, broths, Water, diet sprite, magazines (like 4 or 5), and a few other things. He even said that he picked out magazines that didn't have much food advertisements in them! He also bought a card and signed it from his whole family saying that I had their support and that if i needed anything to call.

I had posted previously that I was kinda regretting telling him, but I take that back...I thought that was sooooooo sweet!:think (happy tears)

Don't drink the sprite!!!

That sure was sweet of him!!!!

Wow, what a rare and wonderful boss you have.

Where do you work & what do you do?!?! What a great boss!! A great support system is a MUST & it sounds like you got it!!!

Don't drink the sprite!!!

That sure was sweet of him!!!!

Why can't i drink diet sprite? It says I can on my list that Dr Morton gave me?? Hope I can :omg: !!!!

Anyway..I work in a small Insurance Agency, and he is the owner. Really great guy!! We only have 4 employees so we are all pretty close.

What a great guy!!! That is amazing!

Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, you have no idea how lucky you are to have someone like that in your life. Boss or not. He is one in a million! Don't ever give up your job (or if you do, tell me when you do and I'll apply!).

What a great guy! You're so lucky to have a boss who is that concerned!

You have a great boss. Most of us bandsters are told not to have pop(soda) because of the carbination. But if your doctor says yes then that is between you and him. My doctor says no carbination becuase of the extra gas and can cause your pouch to expand form the carbination. Good luck on your surgery.

Sorry, I forget that some of us have different rules!!! My instructions said no carbonation, but if your Doc say it's OK, then do what your Doc says!

Best of Luck to you!

Actually after thinking about it I think it said no carbinated drinks...I think the Diet Sprite was allowed during this phase pre-op...now I'm bummed!

O'well....its worth it!

Gasie drink make you more likely to want to burp...problem being often when you have the band you are able to pass a huge burp require.Not all people have this problem so if you do only take same sips and see how you go.

WOW, what a nice boss..... sounds like a keeper

Sounds like he's taken time to think about what you're going to go through. Are you still only getting 3 days off? I had my surgery on 2/13 and it's now 2/18 and I'm still pretty sore. (Of course my monthly thing came along 2 days after surgery so it's made healing longer.) I can't imagine not taking at least a week off but, seems others have had a better go at healing than I have.

Stacey,

DOn't ever let your boss go hunting with the VP

i cried when i read about what your boss did for you!!! You are very lucky to have that kind of boss and bosses wife!!( we all know she had a part in this)

good luck with your surg!!!
