I am taking 6 weeks off... But I just want to be completely set in my new eating and exercise before I return.

I agree I think 6 weeks is a good amount of time. I told my doctor that I cannot be sick then go back to work I work on my feet and I work with people all day long so I hope that he is understanding of that and give me adequate time to adjust to my new life

My surgery is October 8th I plan in taking 2 weeks off. I have a desk job. I hope that is enough time...I cannot afford to take anymore time.

Don't you have state disability

In California you get 80% of your wage and no taxes taken out so you actually make more money being off work crazy huh

Yes but I am in NYC you get 80% for a maximum of $180 per week. I can use 1 week vacation and one week disability . I cannot live on $180 per week.
