Everyone is right' date=' your boss has no right and cannot say if it's elective surgery. Any co morbidity? I operate a busy boutique and decided to be public with my surgery in the hopes it might help someone come to the same difficult decision I made . It took me years to make it......and everyday was a good funeral!

I finally feel somewhat like my old self and although I went thru with this for health reasons I am loving seeing my face emerge from all my day! I will post before and after....Will need to figure out how on my phone or kindle....I love this sight...Thanks for all the info and support!

Thank you all I appreciate the kind words. It's hard to explain to someone who has NEVER been overweight what you are going through-and a boss who won't let you have time off because it is elective surgery is a big jerk face. (my honesty didn't pay off-I should have said it was personal) I would be taking time off without pay-he just doesn't want the inconvenience of me not being here. I want to be the Sleeve Guru too!!!! #disgruntled

Are you using insurance? If so that it's deemed as medically necessary, and as a law student, last time I checked, employers cannot discriminate based in health. I would contact the eoea and file some Fmla paperwork.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
