I appreciate your post!!! It completely solidifies what I had decided... I am just beginning this whole process.. As in, my first consultation is on Thursday lol. I had already decided that I am not going to talk to anyone about it if/when I have the surgery... If they ask, my response will be "portion control and exercise"... I wouldn't be lying then! lol I personally think dealing with any medical condition is a personal issue, and I honestly have no interest in sharing my health status with anyone else.. probably stems from my medical background with all of the privacy laws, I'm not sure.. I don't understand what makes people think that everything happens within a few weeks and that it will be so easy? Some people are just not that bright lol Good luck on your weight loss!!

Most definitely lap band.. She is too terrified to have anything cut or removed :laugh:

I believe that you are allowed up to 12 weeks of time off for medical/family issues under FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act). Unfortunately, there are certain qualifications that you and/or the employer have to meet before you qualify for a job-protected leave of absence. Also, there isn't a way around the 6 month pre-op diet requirement... Sorry!!!

What are you studying? Just curious

Oh my god!! That is HORRIBLE!!! Another good movie to watch that will make you eat nothing but organic foods is called food, Inc.... A MUST see!! :puke4:
