How much time did everyone have to take off of work?

[Siege 49]

I had my sleeve on 1/21 and went back to work on 1/26. So I missed three days of work, thanks to the weekend. I am a computer tech, so mostly at a desk, but I am on light duty until Feb 18 (no moving around heavy office equipment until then).

I just found out my doctor requests 4-6 weeks for FMLA. Aw yeah!! They want their patients to take the time to recover well and build new good habits during that time.

I'm going to take advantage of that and not obsess about the mountain of work that is piling up in the meantime. Expecting I'll want to go back at the 4 week mark

My dr office suggests 3 weeks, I work in daycare but my co worker who also had the sleeve was back after a week. We only have 3 employees, it's a home daycare, so everyone else just helped her pick up the slack. I'm hoping for a Friday surgery and will go back the second Monday for 10 days out.
