I am struggling with what to tell my boss about my upcoming lapband surgery. The issue is that I have had 2 other surgeries since working there in the last 5 years and have been relatively open about them (gallbladder and lymphdectomy). I have a great relationship w/ my boss but I still don't want ANYONE at my job to know. I have been a very private person when it comes my decision to have wls. Only my immediate family and 2 fantastic friends know. I have to tell her something cause I will need time off for recovery. I am also worried about what my papers from the surgeon will say that I have to turn in to use my sick leave at work. Should I make up a procedure like hernia or something??? Any ideas?

I'm from st.louis and I'm getting banded Nov 29th! I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Interest meeting in march. 1st of 6 appointments started in April and I am scheduled for surgery Nov 29th (yeah day after Thanksgiving????). I also had to go to a nutritionist, psychologist, and physical therapist. Nutritionist took a month to get me in.
