Vaca time or Short term disability?
Jamie057 replied to eyezchu22's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not sure how much time I am going to take off after my surgery, it all depends on when I get to have it done. However, I do intend on using STD. My work is a little different from others though, I think. Mine pays the first 6 weeks 100%, after that it's like 60% or something. I am hoping to only take a week off but I have heard people taking 2. It is a medical procedure so you really should be able to use STD, not vacation time. Hope that helps. -
Is anyone else working on their six month pre op diet?
Jamie057 replied to Dreamjeans's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Bre, Congrats on making the decision to get banded. I wish I had a tentative date! I just had my second visit last week. I just met with the dietitian. We went over the next 2 classes of nutrition... don't know if other's have to take these classes or not? Anyway, I too am now just waiting for all my various tests to happen. I go for my sleep study in two weeks! I am interested in what they have to say about my sleep patterns and such! I go back to the docs in early August... I meet to get all the results of the tests I have taken this month! Hope all goes well! Hope everyone's weekend was good?! I started Weight Watchers this morning... wish me luck on losing a few lbs. before surgery! -

Hang in there about the weight loss... like you said... time of the month... who loses weight during that time! I went yesterday... lost 2.5 lbs but i was really surprised about that. The first month I was really just not motivated. I don't know why... I am very excited about the surgery! I have been getting my butt in gear this month so far though! Starting our own group is a great idea... but you are right, I don't know if there is one already or not. I will look into it! Hope all is well for everyone! -
Fills done in states other than where you got surgery
Jamie057 replied to GilliganQ's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have much insight on the matter but I know my dr. office does it... I saw a sign posted in the office regarding the subject. I guess it's just something you have to look into. Maybe your Dr. can help you and has relationships with someone in your state?! Just a thought!
Have not had to take my 6 medications in a month, of coarse I have not eaten either. Will definatly keep you posted as things progress. So when is your surgery again?
