I am 23 years old and a new music teacher. I just got hired for the upcoming year and would have finished out the year in place of the long term sub if it was not for my surgery being in4 weeks. looking for advise and support.

I'll be 21 next month so its nice to see someone close to my age Im leaning towards the VSG what about you?

Are you having your surgery during spring break?

My Surgery is two days after Easter. I get to "aid" the sub till surgery and than can come back after and aid. They do not want to replace the sub yet because I will leave for surgery and it would be unfair to the kids. I am having the sleeve.

I had the lap band so I was only off work for 10 days but we had snow and on,y had to use one day. What are you having ?

I will be having gastric sleeve. onyx999, are you already teaching or still in school?

How'd it go? I teach music. Insurance held mine up until day before school starts. I thought about waiting until September but my principal thought it would be better to go ahead and get it over with.

Better than training them and coming back to train them again
