I ended up having a large hernia; so I text 3 co workers that I talk to on a regular basis and told them I had a hernia repair; which is true. That will somewhat explain the 1st few pounds of weightloss because the post op diet is about the same as the RNY.

Thank you! I'm just trying to take it one day at a time.

We have the same date! Good luck to you!

Sorry if this has been asked in the past but how long did you stay off work?. I have a desk job. I was thinking about 12 days (which will include 2 weekends). When did you feel better and/or felt pretty good to return to work.

Ok thanks. I will plan for 10 business days and have my 1st day of returning on a Tuesday.

Thanks for the reply ShineBright724!

I understand exactly what you mean. I'm afraid to fail again, I'm running out of clothes that fit, and I also don't go out much anywhere. I feel like I have put my life back on hold again. Now I am at peace with my decision because I want my life back for me & my kids. I got on the scale yesterday & I know this surgery is needed (in addition to still having current band issues). I am thankful for the positive responsives I have received from this post. Good luck to us all!

You are absolutely correct!

Thanks and good luck to you too!

I hope so! I'm tired of this band and the issues with it. I'm not sure of a surgery date yet. The surgeon's office was closed by the time I got home today. Of all days, I didn't come straight home from work to check the mail. However I will be calling in the morning. Hopefully I can get in quick.

Thank you!

Thanks!!

I got approved. Thanks for those positive vibes : )

Thank you!!

Yes that's true. Hopefully my coordinator sent off my appeal paperwork. I haven't talked to her since last week. So now I'm just waiting.

Thank you for the reply. I hope I get approved too after the appeal.
