So I had RNY 11-29-2016. I know its been a while but I'm still going through the dumping often caused by things that I can eat just fine the day before. My dumping is very hit or miss and often im really unsure of what is causing it as I eat the same things. One week I can eat tuna for 4 days straight with no issues and sometimes I eat a few bites and I dump for hours. Long story short this has caused me to miss time at work as I work the front desk at a busy medical office. unfortunately my employer is now threatening my job even though I have not used any leave without pay. I always use my sick time. But now they say that I have to have a doctor's note everytime I call out. So I asked for FMLA papers to protect my job. Has anyone else had to use FMLA or dealt with this.

I've used FMLA. Basically you just have your doctor whether surgeon or family physician fill it out and its good for one year so they'll need to fill out a new one each year. When you call off, I always tell them I'm calling off and I have FMLA. That way they cannot fire you over your call offs. I got it the one year when I sprained my ankle then again when I had a pinched nerve in my neck that was causing excruciating pain in my arm.
