Good luck!!!

Hi I'm new first day on here and I'm scheduled for surgery Oct 3rd. Sort of excited no one knows but my spouse and children. Have no positive support so I'm keeping it a secret for now.

Well hi Deja!! Nice to meet you. I think we all come here for positive support. The one thing we all have in common is that we have a weight problem and we need the help of WLS to accomplish our goals. Good luck!

My date is 10/04/16. I am very excited! However, I have to notify my supervisor and I am nervous to ask for the time off for the surgery. I have debated on whether or not to just request a 2 week vacation or let them know I am having this surgery. I guess I feel embarrassed about my weight and I don't feel other people within the workplace will understand. I feel like I need to work up the courage to inform them with a positive attitude and maybe this will create a positive reaction (a mirror effect). Has any one else felt this way with their work place and how did you handle it?

I am pretty sure you don't have to tell them why you need off while requesting sick leave. I believe if you request FMLA your rights should be protected. I would request FMLA papers from your HR at work for your doctors to fill out. When you turn them back in make sure they go directly to Hr.

@@eye1der I'm telling my office I'm having surgery but for either my gallbladder or hiatal hernia, that way I'm not lying and don't have to make up crazy stories about a vacation that didn't really happen but also keep the real reason to myself. I have 1 coworker I told, I trust her to keep it quiet and we are good friends but I'm going to have her help me keep it under wraps. Like back up my "I'm on a diet" story for the next couple of weeks leading up to the procedure so then when I come back a few pounds down its not so shocking.

I'm glad to have found some other October sleevers!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
