Moving right along..

Well I had the discussion with the HR department at my job about my surgery. It went really well. So now I need to have the discussion with my immediate supervisor. I'm sure it will go fine. But I am not looking forward to meeting with her to discuss. You know how you have people on your job that want to be more than co-workers... that;'s what I'm dealing with. I've been on this new job for approx 15 months. So, I haven't really shared too much of my personal life.  

 

Anywho.. I still feel like this isnt real. I started working towards this life changing journey on September 12th. And here I am now with all pre-requirements met and a surgery date set. WOW.. I'm moving right along.

Congrats on your success with HR - good luck with the boss!  I'm sure it will go well!  See you on the losers bench really soon!

I feel you on not looking forward to talking to your boss..My boss is an A hole and I don't want to tell my work that I'm having WLS. What did you tell HR? Are you telling them your having WLS?

I explained to HR that I've had some help concerns and I will have surgery planned for December 10th. That is all I had to say to HR. I believe I can tell my boss the same thing, but I know for sure she will want more information. I'm not sure if I will tell her or not. I would really like to keep this private.

I am really lucky in that all I had to do was call in sick the day of surgery and then send a certificate from my doc for my convalescence leave. No details at all. Just that I am off work from X to Y. Period. No questions no answers apart from I may want to share.

That all sounds very easy. My doctor has to fill out documentation and I have to submit to HR. I haven't received the paper work yet, so I'm not sure if more details to my surgery is needed. I sure hope not.

You are not required to say ANYTHING to your boss other than that you are having surgery and will be out of the office for xx days.  Good luck with your surgery!

Thanks.
