I am curios about this as well. I am hoping to be out for a week. I reach cake decorating I teach 2 classes a day and I can't be out more than 1 week. However classes are only 2 hours and I get to go home after the first one and then come back in the evening.

Lets see how it goes.

I have taken off 4 weeks unpaid (I have family that will help support me during this time financially if I have any issues). My surgeon said 4-6 weeks. I will be about 5 weeks out when school starts again, so I'm hoping I will be prepared to do my clinicals 6 weeks from surgery date (Nursing school). I figured if I gave myself more full recovery time I would be better prepared when I have to start back up my classes. If I want to go back in the middle of the 4 weeks my boss would be more than happy to give me hours, so we'll see.

I just took 8 weeks FMLA from my job. My position was saved and I got 100% pay. It's one of my benefits. I work for a payroll company.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
