I work for the County of Los Angeles and as employees we do not pay into state disability we have the option to pay for it, through payroll deduction. I have three insurance companies I use. So, It doesn't matter if I use my sick time or not, because I am able to use it all.

How it works is, as an option we use 100% sick time first; however many hours you have on the books. After 100% is gone, then it automatically goes into 65% time; I usually have about 336 hours, and after this is gone the 50% time goes into effect and I usually have 224 hours of this. Every January 1st, there is an added 336 and 224 hours added to my employee number. I've been there 14 years and I accumulated 8 hours a month of vacation and 9 hours of sick. So for any type of disability I am able to get full/partial pay and three paid claims.

forgive me. how do i post new msgs? and how do i get a ticker added to my signature?

Hello All

I finally joined after reading some of the post here.

Before deciding to have WLS, I completed the Optifast class through Kaiser. I lost 30 lbs on program and another 30 on my own.

Today I received a packet for the procedure Vertical Sleeve. I am ever so excited. I have orientation on June 14.

I like to add, the post I've read are so full of hope and congrats to you all. Don't ever be discouraged. :thumbup:
