Hi All VSG'ers

So I am half way through my pre op clearances I have my endo tomorrow for my upper GI actually really happy about it because I always have heart burn. So I was all set to set my VSG for October! I am so ready!

Well after mulling over all my options ie vacation time and stuff with work I have to wait until January because by October I will only have a weeks worth of PTO and my doctor wants me out for two to three weeks since my job is very physical and he wants me healed before I do anything. So I sat down with my parents since they are going to be my primary care givers and they told me after Christmas was the best optton because my job is being a pain.

I work in assisted living as an assistant activities director so my job is physical. I would like to maintain my weight where I am right now and either lose some weight I am talking about 10-15lbs and stay where I am. It sucks but I would rather have a longer time off without losing vacation etc..

Any words, tips or just keeping me upbeat I need it really bad

I had to wait a yr. It seemed like it would be forever long, but it went by faster than I thought! It is worth the wait!!! I love my sleeve!!!

Can you take FMLA unpaid? That's what I am doing, I only have 4 days PTO available so I will be unpaid for 2 weeks before my short term disability kicks in. Don't wait, so many things can change with insurance!!
