  1. I have not had surgery yet, have not been approved or anything of that nature. I have gone to the seminar, and tomorrow is my consult to start the process. I have had 4 friends/co-workers all have VSG within the last 3 months. All 4 of them took 5 days from work for a total of 10 days off. A couple of them felt they could have went to work the following Monday, and all 4 had surgery on a Friday. Honestly I believe it is all dependant upon your body, and what it is telling you. It's like having a broken apendage. If you start trying to use it too fast, you can make it worse and or cause it to take longer to heal. If you have the time off, I would schedule it. It's much better being safe than sorry.
