Back To Work Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Took two weeks off and back to work tomorrow. Worried about peoples reactions. Told everyone I was having surgery but didn't say what for. When asked I said I didn't want to discuss it. Only one person knows the whole story. Not sure why I am so worked up about it. I know an hour after being there it will be like nothing happened. Just dreading the first few interactions.

Most people have very short memories! Depending on how you respond to their curiosity they may not even react or care enough to ask :)

Hi... How was your first day back to work? I took two weeks off and am returning to work tomorrow.

Not bad. Not nearly as bad as I thought.

Glad you had a good first day back! I know the worse part for me back to work was getting tired. People I work with were really great. They were happy to see me and just seemed to act like I was on a 2 week vacation.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
