Welcome back! I don't blame you at all for enjoying summer and lots of camping but we did miss you.

Topic: RE: HR / Federal Government Health Care Pre-Surgery

I work for the federal government...in fact, I'm a Director. I had surgery about 7 years ago. There is no requirement for you to disclose what type of surgery you're getting. You just need to bring in a doctor's note stating how long you will be off due to surgery.

You also do not need to notify Sun Life. It's not an insurance matter.

In my case, I was very open about the surgery to my boss and co-workers. My workplace was very supportive. In fact, it was helpful, especially when I had to go on the shakes for a few weeks before surgery. I took three weeks off of work which is what was recommended by my surgeon at the time. And I took full advantage of that to be in a great space when I returned to the office.

Good luck!

Hello!!! I know, Stranger Danger!! Remember me? LOL, I will try and post a little more regularly. Summer was a distraction.

I didn't sleep well last night and with the rain and thunderstorms this morning I could not force myself out of bed to the gym. I am however forcing my co-worker out for a lunch time walk even though it's cold as balls out there.

Good morning :)

It should be a fairly normal day at work but whenever I say that, something crazy happens. Tonight I don't have a training session at the gym but may go just to get an extra workout in since it's looking rainy and I won't be able to get out for my walk.

S - boiled egg

L - turkey, cauliflower

S - small apple using SF pudding as a dip

D - chili, melba toast

S - 1/2 protein shake

Topic: RE: Surgeons who will do a Panni covered by OHIP in London area?

panniculectomy is 100% covered by OHIP. It's a lot of paperwork so it sounds to me like your doc doesnt want to do the work for you. I'd get another opinion/doctor if yours wont look into it for you. I work as a nurse in a hospital that provides this service and I have NEVER come across a patient who has paid out of pocket. It is your doctors job to look into finding someone to do this for you, it's not your job to look for him/her. I really hope it all works out for you and you are able to get your surgery

Topic: RE: 13 Years Post Op RNY
"The CHALLENGES: osteopenia (told wrong calcium to take), always iron deficient and I have reactive hypoglycaemia. All are manageable and a welcome trade off for my normal life."

11 years out here and some of the same challenges. I already had some osteopenia prior to my RNY so really no surprise and I do take the correct calcium. I had to get iron infusions last year and I have fluctuating issues with hypoglycemia which can be scary. I totally agree that the RNY was worth it! If I could go back in time I would do it sooner!
