I felt the same way. I had to tell my boss a few days ago. I also didn't want to share all the details but needed him to know that I would need to have time off. I told him I needed a surgery to take care of a personal issue I have been having for awhile and asked that because it is personal that he keep it confidential. I have a very understanding boss and he didn't ask questions just let me know we would do what was necessary to make sure I had the time I needed.

Hope this helps.

All of your reply's are great. I still have not told the boss as of yet I will have to prepare him soon rather than later. My pre-op shakes came in the mail today. My doctor wanted me to use a special shake, so I ordered it from Ebay. I got Optifast 800 has anybody had to use this before surgery?

My doctor will be Dr. David Kim in Dallas, Tx he is a great doctor I will have regular follow ups with him after my surgery all included in the surgery price of 12,300. Since I am self pay I wanted to locate a doctor that was reasonable on the price and would take great care of me after the fact.

I am looking forward to my surgery and meeting some great people on here...my sleeve brothers and sisters

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
