General question: How much can one take from work? Or how much time is needed?

Thanks everyone. I'm so nervous my surgery date is next Wednesday

Spoke to HR and they said its up to doctor and me. If I'm off more then two weeks then I will qualify for FMLA... I have my surgery next Wednesday and starting my diet as of today. The doctor took me off for two weeks just to help me with the transition period from liquids to soft foods... Good luck everyone!

I don't have enough vacation time nor sick time available.. Can I get disability if I take more 2 weeks off?

Isopure is a good one as well... I'm doing all my research now before I get my surgery date... They have drinks and powder. A bit expensive but worth it.. The drinks are about 40g of proteins and 0 carbs

Hi Does anyone know if I can use my FSA towards my lap band surgery?

Hi, I just saw someone say that they had hair loss in the beginning... Is that common with pcos and lapband? I heard it is slower to lose weight then a normal person without pcos which will probably benefit us since it won't be as noticeable and people won't ask much questions. Has the lapband help with pcos?

Hi all! I'm new to this site. I just had my consultation on the 8th and today I had my psych eval today what else is there for me to do? How long does this process take? I know the expectations of the surgery. My concern is will I be denied at the end of this from my insurance? I have a BMI of 37 and have co morbid as far as hypertension... Has anybody else been denied with the same conditions?! I'm so confused and I don't want to Waste time but at the same time I'm desperate because I've tried everything and failed.

Thank you ladies... I'm going to call tomorrow.
