I just went on the new website to check it out. They have not brought over active forums, and your profile is void of pictures, the count for comments you have made or posts you have started, and your information. I am hoping this all carries over!

Well I was scheduled to have surgery at the end of December but I called an had mine rescheduled for the 1st week of January. I really would like to do in December because I'm very anxious, but my choice is based mainly on deductible issues. I want the max out of pocket fees I spend on surgery to cover me a whole year, not just 2 weeks! Idk maybe I'm crazy....

Actually that's a smart move. It's only a week or so later.

So. My boss/husbands uncle' date=' just seen on the calendar that I'm taking off for surgery. I work at a newspaper and I do the majority of the layout work. He comes up to me and says that I need to teach him how to do it, because he's heard of all the complications and is expecting the worse. wth. >:([/quote']

Umm, he sux for sayn that!! But teach him n once u return, maybe he'll give u a bonus for all the hard work that u do. And while ur teaching, perhaps teach him some etiquette, that was way rude. Goodluck w everything:)

Thanks for checking that out! I appreciate it... right now I am on my PC at work, but do not want to keep utilizing that as an option, would rather use the APP and wasn't sure if I should go ahead and upload both apps or not.

Had my Upper GI this morning. Officially I'm clean but the Dr said they debated for a while as to whether or not I have a hiatal hernia.

Meanwhile I'm telling everyone in my office that they found a HH which sets the stage for my cover up story.

Andrew

Andrew - Come to find out I have a rather large hiatal hernia, which being self pay, i was very happy about since insurance covers that part of the surgery thus lowering my out of pocket expenses for the sleeve.

I also have chosen to tell people my leave is for the HH. I have worked here 14 years and never had to take a leave before, so it is all new to me - I never realized how many would ask me so many questions. There are two co-workers I have been friends with outside of work for many years and they do know that the sleeve is also happening. then my family knows and my best friend. That is it!

i have contemplated over this part for months now, even when I was just researching it was only my husband that i discussed this with. It wasn't until we were a go that I told those closest to me in the past few weeks.

You know, I will teach him. I was going to teach another co-worker. But if I teach him, then he will ease up on the smart-cracks during paper day. Also, now I will feel more comfortable taking more time off work. I think it is going to backfire on him. lol. My surgery is on a Wednesday. I was taking off until the following Tuesday, so I could come and do the paper. Maybe I will take that entire week off too. ;)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
