Hi everyone,

Just curious, for those of you who work, did u request vacation time off or sick leave? Im planning to take a week off (my work is not physical) and would like to take it as sick but at my job, anything beyond two days requires a Dr's note. Did ur Mexican surgeon provide one? Im not telling anyone at work about my surgery so I would need a very discrete Drs note. Thanks!

I am going to request 2 weeks vacation. My job requires you to fill out an FMLA packet if you take 2 or more sick days. Which i wouldn't mind, buy the girls in the front office will surely tell all your business. I work fir the courts and you would think people know how to keep things private right, NOT. Good luck

Linda I know exactly what you mean! Tell just one person at work, and guaranteed everyone else will find out. Im using Dr Garcia and alma instructed me to outline what I wanted the note to say and that she would get the Dr to sign. So now I have to figure out how to say enough to justify my medical leave but not too much.lol

You can tell them that your getting your gall bladder removed or you have a stomach virus. I'm a supervisor so I've heard it all.

Under the Hippa law you don't have to tell them what you are having done. All they need to know is you are having a medical procedure and need tie off for it.

      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.
