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.
