No pre-op diet for me. We just had to learn how to eat after the initial liquid, mushy stuff and learn about labels and all that nutrition stuff.

Kewl!

My doctors office faxed my insurance today for pre-auth. I contacted my HR person and asked how to take leave for surgery. I was told I could take up to 240hrs of advanced sick leave without having to do the whole FMLA thing. I do not have to attach a note from my doctor unless my direct supervisor asked for proof or leave. So I went into my supervisors office and told her that I would need her to sign off on my paper for sick leave for possibly 3 weeks for a surgery procedure. I asked if she needed a note, she basically left it on me (for my personal folder). I told her like this because I wanted to be prepared to ask for a note from my doc and get it all in time for me to be out. I'm hoping to have this done by "cinco de mayo", which is around the corner. My boss kind of looked concerned, so I was like dont worrry I am just going in for a womans procedure. She was take all the time you need and if you still need time off and want to work from home, to let her know. I work for the federal government if you were wondering. As for the other in the office, I have told only close friends which is like 3 people who know the deal. Other than that if someone else asks for the significant weight loss, I am going to say "newlywed life" LOL. I was recently married. I thought that might be funny. I am not ashamed, I think that once I get to my goal, I may reveal it to others.
