Hi guys, I’m new to this forum. I wanted to know if one week is enough to take off after surgery, I work a desk job eight hours a day

Got my surgery scheduled for July 2, and plan on taking 3 weeks off! I wanna make sure I’m 100% before going back

So I’m will probably have the sleeve sometime in June, every time I’ve talked with my mother about it she’s extremely negative and discouraging...dictating to me I shouldn’t do it and usually leaves me in tears....I’ve decided that at 30yrs old, I will have this procedure without her approval because I cannot continue to allow her to dictate how I should I should live my life does anyone here have parents or husbands ahl are like this? so I guess the only people I’m telling is my two best friends

So my surgeons office submitted my paper work to UHC, I have their choice plan...how Long does it typically take UHC to get back? surgeons office is telling me up to a month but I really hope it doesn’t take that long

Forgot to add the hernia repair

I had liposuction a few years ago but that’s it....but no deep abdominal surgeries.

I guess I’ve kinda always sought her approval...but now that I’m older I realize how damaging this has been to me. I’m gonna get the sleeve, even if I have to keep it a secret from her for some time because like you said it’s my life to live!

My mom came with me to the seminar and my consult with the doctor....let’s just say...it didn’t help AT ALL, she’s pretty much stuck in her ways. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place because I cannot imagine having a procedure like this and not informing her. I mean I would eventually tell her post op....Lucky for me she lives in California and I live in Maryland so she wouldn’t know...it’s just doing it secretly kills me

I’m gonna use up my leave which is just two weeks, my work provides short term disability which is 60% of your pay, so I’ll take that as well for another 2 weeks. I had a hernia repair several years ago and the recovery was rough so I’m anticipating this to be the same, back then I took a full month off and even that really wasn’t enough

My surgeon gave pretty similar advice....but he recommends 3 weeks to a month off and I can onl truly afford to take 2...
