I was approved by BCBS of AL in only a matter of 2 weeks. I'm having a EGD and EKG done on April 15th and my surgery date isn't unit May 20th. (Due to me already having a vacation planned)

My question is how long is everyone else taking off work? My doctor said some people go back to work after a week. Right now I have 9 days off after surgery. Do you think that will be enough? I don't do a lot of bending, mostly just standing and walking (for 10 hrs). My employer isn't aware that I'm having surgery, and I'd like to keep it that way if possible.

Thanks in advance!

No, I don't have a date yet. Still working on it! I have my initial consultation on Mar 25!

My consult is the 27th

Congratulations jenny13!! I'm having my surgery in birmingham also. I just started my process, I went to the orientation yesterday with Dr. DeWitt. Who is your surgeon?

My consult is the 27th

Exciting! Good luck!

Small world! Dr John Touliatos is doing my surgery. He is very nice! His whole staff is wonderful.
