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.

      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.
