I am hoping that I only need 2 weeks, but I can take as many as needed since I am having surgery. My job will not allow me to come back until the Dr fully releases me. Thankfully mine is paid under STD and paid at 100%... I am lucky in that sense

I haven't discussed it with my sugeon yet but I can do 11 days. That's it. LOL. Considering I came home from a c-section in 48 hours and walked up a flight of stairs and took care of my son alone everyday until I went back to work, I think this should be fairly easy. What's up Wonder Woman!!!! Hahah The same here... and I have a vertical cut which is very painful. I hope this is much easier than that.

Hello all, I too am "tentatively" scheduled for September, the 21st to be exact... but that date can change depending on my insurance. I have my psych evaluation on 7/27, and my last dietary apt on 08/03 and then it will be submitted to my insurance for hopefully QUICK approval. I have read, and read and read until I can't read anymore. I am ready to do this... but of course I have a lot of nerves. My main concerns is about blood clots. Although I am not someone who get blood clots I know that is a concern for sleevers. My gastric Dr, kind of made a big deal about the clots in return making me want to research until my fingers bleed (not really) and I just can't research anymore. I guess this is all part of the process, worry, nerves, excitement all wrapped up in 1! I am putting it in God's hands and hope and pray and have faith that everything will go as planned. I look forward to following this forum during my process.
