When do you let your employer know?



Recommended Posts

Idk what you do at the hosp. I work at the hosp where I'm getting mine done and I do patient care. I have already spoken privately with my boss because our schedules go in 6 weeks prior. To assure I will be off work. They are aware the date could be moved. I looked at it from the staffing point if view they can plan staffing and you could plan coverage or even alter your schedule. My boss has been great with altering my schedule so I can get all my testing done!

I'm being sleeved on march 20!! Feb 20 I will call for my fmla coverage...

I also work in several hospitals. There is often an option for the hospital to block the records of their employees. For me to view records of an employee' date=' I must go through an extra HIPPA screen which requires me to verify that I am authorized to review the records. The screen gives me a warning that states that if I continue my information will be reviewed for having accessed the records. Talk to the HIM staff and see if there is something they can help to protect your private information.[/quote']

My hospital has this we call it broken glass... That's what I'm doing for my procedure to keep my Info private.

I too work in the hospital where I will be sleeved. I waited to tell my manager I would be out for surgery until after I had my date & had made all my pre op arrangements & had an expected return date set. I then let hr know & lastly filed my dbl/fmla claim.. I have not to my manager what I'm having surgery for, but some of my coworkers do know & if asked I will tell the truth.

      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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
