so how long is everyone taking off?

I'm taking two weeks... if I need more, I'll add some days. But I don't see it as necessary if all goes well because I have a desk job.

I'm taking off 2 1/2 weeks maybe 3. But I'm a hairdresser at a very busy salon. I only get a break if there isn't a client so I decided I didn't want to go back till I was 100% again. Plus being that I'm the 17th I figured I would just go back after the kids go back.

My surgeon and his office seem confident I will have my surgery before the end of the year. I still have my psych eval and then final approval from my insurance company before I get an actual date. I am shooting for Dec 16 or 23 because I will be on Christmas break.

I am excited!

same boat as you. Coordinator is confidant I'll have end of year date and will submit to insurance beginning of December. Everything else is done

I don't have an exact date yet, but my surgeon seems to think I shouldn't have any problem getting approved/surgery completed by the end of the year. I am a school teacher so if I am not able to get it done over the Christmas break, it will have to wait until summer. My last PSW visit is scheduled for 11/25 and I will hopefully hear from insurance within a few days since I already have completed all of the other requirements. I am 35 years old and current weight is 240. I have battled my weight FOREVER.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
