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!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
