Update - Thank you all for your advise it has been very helpful, I went back to the HR dept and they let me know that he is not allowed to inquire about my medical issues... I am allowed one to two hours twice a month for medical appointments with it not effecting my personal days allowance... and Monday I'm to have a meeting with him and the HR rep. Thank you guys again for the info, now I can go into this meeting knowing what some of my right are. I'll let you know how it goes.

40 down 73 to go

I've been banded since Nov. 2006 and I haven't had any problems other then with my boss... He's asked me straight out several times why I go to the doctors once a month, I told him it's none of his business. But lately it's becoming more of an issue, he actually wrote me up for having a doctors visit once a month - is this illigal? Is it like diabetes that's protected by law if he tries to stop me from going to the doctors on a monthly basis?

I have a question: I was banded on 11/6/06 and had my first fill 12/19/06 1cc, I have a 10cc band and wasn't feeling a thing. I went in on 1/3/07 and had .50cc added and now I'm wondering what too full feels like? What does your sweet spot feel like? I feel quite a bit of pressure in my chest when I eat but I'm able to eat pretty much anything just very slowly and well chewed. I'm just a little concerned since I have nothing to compare it too. I have another appointment on 1/30/07 and was planning on waiting until then to see how things go, I just can't imagine that 1.50cc would be so full.

I there, I'm 16 days post-op, I was originally very worried about the scarring but when I finally saw them, my cats scratches are bigger then most of them. What I do recommend is to put Vitamin E oil on them at least twice or more a day, and they are smooth and fading fast... just make sure that you wear a tank top under your clothes you don't mind damaging cause the oil will rub onto your clothing... Good luck!
