hospital stay and what are you telling people

just got unofficial approval today waiting on letter to make it official. i was wondering how long lap banders (dr Keith) stay in the hospital if all goes well. Insurance co saying should receive letter in 5-7 days then start process. I work with two very skinny health food freaks who would not understand the surgery. they always preach their diets to me so what should I tell them about the time off work/ I have two weeks off at Christmas but probably can't get through whole process and surgery before I go back on the 3rd of January

Hi Susan, I am not having the lap surgery, but you know,really it is none of their business. You are doing this for you and your health and they are not involved with that at all.Not all people are healthy that are skinny, please remember that.I hate people who look at you and automatically think that their way of life will be better for you.My weight is due to the meds I have been on, Thanks Doc's. And no matter what, you will feel better and look better and you know what, just tell them that you found this really healthy diet to go on and leave it at that. HUUUMMMMMPPPPP that should shut them up. After all , you will be eating less and they will see that, so phoooooeeeeeyyyyyy on them. Take care and have a wonderful day. Still Fluffy Till 2005 Erika
