I felt the same way. I had to tell my boss a few days ago. I also didn't want to share all the details but needed him to know that I would need to have time off. I told him I needed a surgery to take care of a personal issue I have been having for awhile and asked that because it is personal that he keep it confidential. I have a very understanding boss and he didn't ask questions just let me know we would do what was necessary to make sure I had the time I needed.

Hope this helps.

All of your reply's are great. I still have not told the boss as of yet I will have to prepare him soon rather than later. My pre-op shakes came in the mail today. My doctor wanted me to use a special shake, so I ordered it from Ebay. I got Optifast 800 has anybody had to use this before surgery?

My doctor will be Dr. David Kim in Dallas, Tx he is a great doctor I will have regular follow ups with him after my surgery all included in the surgery price of 12,300. Since I am self pay I wanted to locate a doctor that was reasonable on the price and would take great care of me after the fact.

I am looking forward to my surgery and meeting some great people on here...my sleeve brothers and sisters

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
