How Long Were You Out Of Work

[Amom2twins 58]

I am being sleeved on June 5th & my surgeon says I will be off work for 6 weeks. Luckily, I qualify for short-term disability from work so I will be paid during my time off. I am looking forward to being off for most of the summer. I am surprised at how many people go back to work much sooner. My paperwork that the surgeon filled out simply said "major abdominal surgery" so anyone that reads it wouldn't really know the exact surgery I am getting. I have already had my gall bladder removed & was off for over 2 weeks for that so you could use that as an excuse if you want to be discreet at work & it would be believable.

I had six weeks but took three weeks. I wish i had taken four. The first two weeks I was exhausted.
