I picked up my FMLA papers at wrk today. For reason it made me nervous. It jump started my anxiety. It is made it more real to me that I'm really going to be out of work for 6 weeks because my job does not have light duty. I don't know why I'm freaking out, I guess the thought of me letting HR office know made it more real to me more official. Maybe its because ive never taken a leave from any job so its a new experience for me LOL Did this happen to you?

I got my surgery date today and that made it very real to me. It seems like Ive been waiting for this date since February, and I'm kinda freaking out that I'm scheduled. I'm nervous, happy, scared, excited all at the same time!

Congrays on the surgery date!!! I think we're all feeling the same big mixture of emotions. Whats your date? :)

My date is September 3rd. The day after labor date. I was hoping to have a date in August, but they were booked. September will be okay though. My kids will be in school so I will be able to recover easier. The only thing that stinks about that date, is that it is the first day of school for my kids and my little guy is going off to kindergarten that day. So, I'm dealing with that emotion today too. He's my baby and my last one at that, so feeling crappy about not being there.

      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.
