still waiting on approval

The company I work for requires that you fill out FMLA papers regardless if you have enough sick time or not.  I had enough sick time, but I believe you fill them out just in case you would need more time off.  In the 5 lb thing, you need to make sure you get it off before you see the doctor again, he is very strict on loosing weight before the surgery.  But you should get it off in your liquid diet.  How long do you have to be on a liquid diet?

I do believe hes going to require that i do the 2 weeks liquid diet.  I have enough sick time as well but i was informed to fill out FLMA papers just in case i get sick from eating the wrong foods and my attendance wont be affected.  So in the paperwork he mail out is there a medical note to be excused from work since you having surgery.
I called health partners today and my insurance is still pending hopefully i have a decision before friday and maybe can have surgery end of july. Hopefully dr lederer surgery schedule is too full.

I hope you hear something soon too, to me the waiting is the worst part.  I feel your pain!  Soon you will be on your way!  Summer is a lovely time to be on the liquid diet, I don't think you are as hungry in the summer.....and when your surgery is over, it will be nicer outside so you can walk more, walk walk walk.   Thats what I should have done outside this morning.  Too hot, think I will do the treadmill a bit.

i had a 3 hour break before i went back to work and i catch the train downtown and walk on nichollett mall and  believe me it was real hot.  i trying to take off the pounds i put on before i start liquid diet

Good for you girl!
