Who should I tell?????



Recommended Posts

If I've dumped the money, time, pain and discomfort, permanent lifestyle change and everything else that I have to go through to get something like this PEOPLE BETTER NOTICE AND SAY SOMETHING!!!! (Kindof like if I had a boob job....If people noticed I'd be going, "Hell yeah they're fixed! Paid for every inch and proud of it!"):lol:

I have not told my boss what I am doing. I feel it is private and all I told her was that I was having surgery. By law employers are not able to ask the details of your surgery or appts. Hope that helps!

I work for a great company where pretty much everybody there is close, open, friendly and supportive. I did not have any problem telling people and I don't regret it. Like Kacee I figured that if people have a hard time understanding why I had the surgery it's their problem but are free to ask me. So far I haven't had that happen. In fact there are two people in my group that have been inspired to start the surgery process. Also, there are 4 other people in my company that have had the lap band or the bypass surgery. This really helps overall.

Thanks to eveyone for the replys and the great advice!!! I just dont want to judged by other people on my decions on weight loss. I have thought long and hard about this, and for me I think it would be difficult to face any negative feeling that my co-workers may have. Thanks agian!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
