ive taken a week of work i wasnt going to tell anyone but my dr put gastric banding op on the sick note so i had to tell my bosses but hay ive had it done and on a new journey to find myself again

Thanks...and my name is Sandra by the way. My boss helped me actually get my loan...she co-signed so I had to tell her. Not planning on telling many people. My mom and dad know and two of my best friends. I am not telling anyone in my husbands family....I am sooooo afraid they might judge me and make me feel bad. Does that make sense???

I am 1 week post-op and I feel great! The only real pain I had was from the gas. It's finally gone now YEAH! Stand up for yourself with the family....who cares what they think. Have a SO WHAT moment. Good Luck you'll love the band.
