Rubyfit4life 75 Posted November 26, 2017 Yes! 2 days after I get back from finals. But that will give me a full month recovery! I’ve only told my roommates because they’re crazy observant, parents, my best friend & boyfriend! Other than that I’m keeping it to myself. What made you keep your surgery a secret? I just didn’t want to have people try to talk me out of it. A year ago I was scheduled for surgery and I let my coworker talk me out of it. I always get the “you’re not that big” “you can loose the weight on your own” . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rubyfit4life 75 Posted November 26, 2017 I am taking full 6 week leave-figured I would take advantage of the time and really focus on myself (not something I have opportunity to do with my job regularly). I just told work that I have a medical concern I need to deal with. So far no one has pushed and our leave approvals are handled by 3rd party. Mom and sister work in the OR at hospital where I am having it so could not avoid telling them.Hardest part is dodging questions from extended family at thanksgiving and Christmas on what I am eating (or not eating). I wish I could take six weeks off. My company is short staffed so I’m trying to be nice and just take two weeks off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

memefriend66 3 Posted November 26, 2017 I had my sleeve since November 20, I’ve only let my Facebook friends, family and closest colleagues know because we all hangout and they want to include me in. I have formed a support group through these friends to assist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
