[shannon_farrar 2]

Hi everyone! I am new, planning for RNY in November. I live in NC - anyone else?

How long are you all planning to be out of work? I work at a desk job and I feel like I might be able to work from home for part of he recovery time. What are y''all planning on doing?

I had my surgery last November. I took off two weeks from work, but could have gone back sooner. Just didn't want to. lol.

I’m having my gastric sleeve in November 12. Not sure how long i should take off of work yet. I haven’t told anyone. I’m a private person but i know i have to say I’m taking time off off for surgery, just not sure what type i want to tell people.

Hey @JerseyNJ im the 11th im getting excited now . Im taking off 2 weeks and I haven't told anyone the type of surgery im having I just told HR I would be having surgery nov 11th they sent me forms for me and my surgeon and he did not go into what type of surgery (HIPPA) laws prevent that . If they want to be nosey they could google his name and find out he a bariatric surgeon but I don't care.This is about me not other's opinions . I am in Jersey too . Where are you? nice to have a almost surgery twin!!!

I'm so grateful for this group. I'm pretty much a lone in my journey so plugging into this group helps a lot. Surgery is getting close!

Hey I was wondering where are you in NJ i'm in South Amboy....Going to clara maas for my surgery..

I’m from Indiana, but I’m having the RNY on November 15th! I will for sure be off for 2 weeks but my surgeons office says I could be off for up to a month. In the process of filling out FMLA paperwork. I’m an ER nurse, so I’m wondering if 2 weeks would be long enough for me to be off for recovery. Not everyday is the same but there are definitely days that are physical just as much as mental
