Short Term Disability

Did you take a STD for the lapband procedure?

What are your views on it?

    I just took 3 days of personal time. Everyone heals differently, but I went back to work even though I was still in a bit of discomfort.

    You just need a few days off a week at the most. I mean if you are not doing hard physical labor, loading trucks or something.I think it's easier if you arre busy and not sitting home thinking about all the food you can't eat.. Everyone is different but most folks are back to feeling good after a week 10 days.
