I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:) After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great! Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should. Now it's my turn to lose this weight! It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!

Hi! Yes I know about FMLA. I have not been at my new job for a year yet, will be 9 months on January 21st (one year in April) and I don't really want to wait much longer so I am going to use my PTO. It will all work out. My supervisor approved it. I have a desk job so I sit almost all day so I should be ok. I have been waiting for the surgery for a LONG TIME. I was just starting to look into that when my last employer all of sudden dropped Group Health. So I quit a few months later and got job there and started the process again!
Congratulations on your date - that's great!!! It will all be worth the wait... I have an easy desk job, too. I had surgery 12/6/07 and went back to work on 12/17/07 and had no problems at all. I could have gone back as soon as a week after surgery, but enjoyed the extra couple days! I know others have felt they really needed more time - just do what feels right for you... As long as you can have your water at your desk and sip all day, you should be good to go!! :) Wishing you all the best as you continue this journey!

Hi there! New to OH, and WOW! We share the same Surgeon. I won't meet Dr. Landers till my pre-op appt., but my surger date is 2/9/09. I just let my boss know of my surgery date as well. I don't plan on being gone long either, I'm pretty much in the office at a desk, or sort trips to court or an occasional meeting.
