I Have Surgery Nov 7Th Debating On How Much Time To Takr Off Work
shastadaisy replied to steelergirl's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Fmla has very specific rules and all companies are NOT required to offer it - further Fmla doesn't address pay - just keeping your job while you take the time off - dol (department of labor) regs are very specific. Just don't assume everyone is entitled to Fmla. -

FWIW - I was a travel agent -- and sent people to hawaii for a living.
-
I’m going to make a suggestion - spend a week there - but go to one of the other islands too - it’s such a long trip from anywhere mainland it’s a shame to miss out on the other paradises there - I personally LOVE Maui and we spent 14 days there - and still discovered something new each day. Honolulu is very big city commercial - and while it’s still beautiful Hawaii - its not as beautiful as the other islands...Mahalo my friend.

Does Being On Birth Control {Hormone Based} Affect Your Weight Loss Is Any Way?
shastadaisy replied to SensationallySassyT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m posting so I can follow - I had a merina installed 3 yrs ago - LOVE the lesser periods (I still get a VERY light period) but I KNOW I was much lighter before I had it put in. It’s not supposed to cause weight gain. -

Holy Crap, I'm Getting Hot!
shastadaisy replied to ouroborous's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
ok - i just checked out your pictures on your profile - it is confirmed. you are hot. especially your fancy red drawers -
I can make anyone look amazing - you just had the wrong photographer - your looking for candids to document a series - pick a color - whatever color - and stick to that for the duration - some colors even look better/worse on - Baby Blue and Grey (2 VERY popular colors) DO NOT photograph well - and yet people wear that allot - Stick with your favorite color - mark a spot on the wall or floor - make sure you take the shot from the exact same position and voila - same angle too - because raising or lowering your camera can change how you look - fun project -

She did them in fitting rooms - she’s a student and the pictures were pretty basic I’m a photographer and there is more than one way to skin a cat - you can tripod your camera and put it on a timer - or get a cordless remote (i use those for the real little kids when I’m on the floor all the time) I plan to journal once a week - I probably should start soon as I’m on my 6 month mandatory diet thingy and have lost 10 already... good luck to everyone.

does it have caffiene in it?

We have BCBS - I am 100% ZERO deductable My group provider requires 6mo of Dr. visits and Nut meetings. I wont even be able to see my surgeon for the first appt until I meet this pre-requirement. Does anyone know if that is 6 mo (like days) or 6 visits over 6 mo - I had my first appt on 8/15 - so will I be able to start this party on January 15th or February 15th... I know that seems like a silly question - but I’d REALLY like to get this party started...kwim?
-
IF - and that’s a BIG IF I got to see the Surgeon in January - got all my pre-req appointments done - did my final surgeon visit AND got a surgery date March-ish that would sorta be a miracle ... I’m just hoping - I could KICK myself I didn’t do this earlier in life. I know everything happens for a reason ... Thanks for listening.

Thank you. BCBS is 100% day one - it’s the group that we are with who is requiring the 6mo of dr/nut visits... Feel like I’m trying to be my own advocate and make sure I’m ahead of any possible delays - The surgeon will not see me or make an appt until the group puts through an approval - really 30 days shouldn’t be that much of a difference - but next year we have school/family obligations and I’d realllllly like to be sleeved march or april - I’m pushing it - i know.
