I'm scheduled to have my surgery in June and my work is not very flexible with me needing time off. I sit at a desk all day answering phones, so there is no lifting of anything, and sometimes I have to get up to take things to other peoples desks such as papers or messages. I was thinking of 3-4 days off at the most. Is that realistic?
I have kaiser. My primary care physician is in riverside and she gave me the referral for the 12 weeks of classes which i have finished. I am supposed to have my referral to my surgeon by the end of this week and then I can schedule my surgery date. I am getting the lap band and honestly, I have had no issues with the process and the entire process from my very first appt with my primary until now has only taken 3 1/2 months (including 12 weeks of classes). Hope that helps!
