Help--boss announces to whole staff about surgery



Recommended Posts

Best wishes for tomorrow! Post when you can about how it went. We look forward to watching you be a loser!

And you know, if the food police try to give you a ticket, you say, "isn't it great that I can have this and exercise moderation with my band? I love it!"

Like Catherine (you look fantastic in those pics, by the way, Catherine!) I lost less than a pound a week, but I am getting there, and I feel great.

I marched over to her and said" I don't know why you got two divorces,couldn't you just work on it, its that simple"...Needless to say..she keeps her mouth shut now...........

Nice!! :thumbup: Sometimes I wish I could think of things to remark off the bat like that.

Well sometimes I do I just don't say it. So it take some wit and guts. Good for you!

I am so upset for you! That was wrong ... but I think what others have said is probably the case. His not thinking, plus, I'm guessing, a wee bit of jealousy.

On the other hand, you can't change it, and staying angry about it is not going to help. Just use the motivation to rock your program!

FYI, a teacher at my child's school had WLS. She was very overweight for a long time, lost all the weight pretty quickly and has kept it off now for 2 years. Everyone has pretty much guessed. The only thing that I have heard, though, is how great she looks and 'more power to her.' She is a lovely teacher and we're all happy for her. In fact, she inspired me over this past year to look into WLS. Seeing how much she has changed her life, however she's done it, is absolutely inspiring. I would actually hate to think she is spending all her days now miserably starving trying to desperately keep the weight off. I'm happy she has had a way to lose all the weight and still live her life!

I think what he did was wrong Idiot or not. Surley a HIPPA violation. You ll be fine, its unfortunate that the CAT can't be put back in the bag. I only told a few co workers and told my boss she was free to disscuss after my surgery ONLY. I did nt want to disscuss or hear everybodys opinion before my surgery. My thoughts now I don't care what they think ! I am a big girl and it was my decision. I guess my thing was protecting my privacy before surgery.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
