So, things haven't gone as I've planned for this weight loss journey. Once I made the decision to explore it back in November 2012, I was ready to make it happen! Then I was told my insurance required a 3 month supervised weight loss program. To say I was bummed would be an understatement. After I regrouped, I resolved that 3 months wasn't so bad and it gave me the time to think about my decision and truly educate myself about eat I was doing. I was really grateful for that time. My last meeting was January 9 and I figured I'd probably have surgery in February or March and then I fell. I broke my leg January 2 and was worried that it would jeopardize my weight loss( for the program) and that they would want me to wait until my cast came off( 6 weeks!). That wasn't the big deal, but, I only have so much leave time from work and with this broken leg, I was using it up. My window for this surgery was quickly dwindling! If I didn't have it soon, I wouldn't be able to have it at all, this year!

Well, I'm happy to say, they are going to move forward with my surgery! I have a walking cast now and they feel comfortable doing it! I started my pre-op diet today and My surgery is next week! Yay!

So here's the big question: when did you guys FEEL comfortable going back to work? I will probably have to return on Feb 28. Is that enough time? Thanks!

I was back to my desk job in a week. Good Luck!
