    I got my FMLA paperwork filled out and turned in (my work requires 30day notice). I have been gathering thinga for my 2 week diet that starts Jan 31st. I am not looking forward to this!!!!

    I totally get this feeling. I did the supervised diet with all kinds of excitement and determination. But after it ended and I still had 4 months to get a surgery date, my excitement is gone and it's been replaced by anxiousness and a whole lot of "what am i doing!" I'm doing this don't get me wrong but right now I'm just trying to make it to surgery day w/ my sanity intact.

    Well this is my very first post on any website, I am having my sleeve done on Feb. 8th with Dr Almanza in Mexico.. I know it sounds crazy Mexico what am I thinking!! Thats what everyone I have told is telling me. But anyway I am still doing it, my nerves are shot and I too have been having crazy dreams about the day I will have the sleeve done. Any positive words would be wonderful.

    Don't worry a lot of people on this site has gone to Mexico to have this surgery! My best friend went 3 years ago this April and she has done great and no problems. You just have to do what's right for you! Just make sure you check everything out and read reviews and you will do fine. Welcome to the community!

    How long is everyone taking off from work? I work a desk job and am planning on going back 5 days after.

    I, too, work a desk job, but I've been advised to take off at least two weeks. If I feel great, I can go back early.

    I have to go back 5 days after surgery, too. But might have to do a half day about 2 days after. I had a friend that had her surgery on a Thursday and went back on a Monday. We're both teachers in Seoul so we can't take a lot of time off.

    I'm having surgery on a Wednesday, released on Thursday, maybe half day of work on Friday (prepping my classroom... But my manager might be giving me the day off. Still unknown), and officially begin work on Monday.

    I'm nervous and hope to heal well with no compilations!

    Good luck everyone!!
