Hi all,

Having my sleeve done this Thursday. I have told a few people, but don't want most people I work with to know. What reasons do you give for missing work? I work in a place where people will probably ask and it would be weird to say nothing...

"I'm having a procedure. What? Oh, did you have sex last night? Oh, wait, you find that question intrusive?" Hint. Hint. Just keep repeating - I'm having a procedure my doctor has told me is necessary. No one is entitled to know anything more. (I only told my husband, two teen daughters and two very close friends. My mother and sister don't know and I'm 14 months out.)

Maybe because most of the people in my office are females and under the age of 30 I told whoever asked And nobody cared. They were excited for me actually. I got so many offers to go shopping once I hit goal weight. I didn’t really put any thought into not telling people. I didn’t care much

Actually! They shouldn't ask you anything or share with anyone!

They can ask for medical documentation but not specifics. Unfortunately the letterhead gives it away .
