What to tell Job?

[EricaLyn 0]

I'm not telling anyone at my office. I told them that I needed to have a minor surgery. Period. End of story. I'm not going to deal with my co-workers asking me a zillion questions or the daily judging. I know I will be losing a lot of weight, but with the Lapband, it'll come off slowly, so for all they know, I'm just dieting (which I am!). It's personal. My work isn't an extension of my life, therefore they don't need to know about my life.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.... Why must we tell everything to everyone if we do not care to? Why take the time to dream up a lie that will be found out later? What if the gall bladder does eventually act up? It's like the worker that forgets his grandmother already died 2 yrs. ago and every one else remembers so why is the grandmother dead again? I am simply stating I am off for a week due to a medical procedure, Period. On the job, the less drama, the better. My job performance is up for scrutiny, not my weight.
