Reason For Time Off



Recommended Posts

I havent had my surgery yet...its May 10th. but ive only been at my job 2 months..itll b 3 on May 2nd. I havent told my job anything frankly because...i dont know what to say and im scared ill lose my job. i really need my job it took me 2 years looking for a perm job while working temp. My surgeons office says they want me to take 2-3 weeks off. but thats a really long time. But my husband tells me to not stress...that stress can also affect the surgery and that we'll b ok. but obviously i need to tell my job wether its good or bad outcome. another thing is i need to pay 2500 upfront so if i tell my job now im scared theyll let me go before i hit my 3 months and therefore ill lose out on 2 more paychecks before surgery that we're counting on to go towards the 2500.

ughhh im just confused.

Why not just keep it simple I have to have a medical procedure and will be out of the office for at a min. 1 week and at the most 3 weeks. I had mine on 3/21 and went back to work for full days the following Thursday. But worked 1/2 days the Monday after my surgery

hey annemarie.

thats probably what im going to end up doing. Because in reality that is kinda tha truth. I had started this WHOLE process towards the end of last yr. So ill just tell them i had been waiting and finally got approved and the date was scheduled for May 10th. Can they let me go bc of it?

aww thanks! im hangin in there! i think im gonna get started on my liquid diet earlier bc i know ive gained sinced my initial consultation with the surgeon back on Janurary. :unsure:

weighed in at 293 back then. im sure ive gained. and talked to the surgeons office and the said he would like for us to lose about 10lbs. not that hard but try adding about 15 extra that i probably gained. ooowiiee!! lol. jesus help me!

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
