Time off

[wishin n prayin 10]

Wish me luck, I am asking for the time off this morning. I think I am more afraid they will say NO than I am of the surgery!

I am not asking for time off...I will (hoping soon) be calling in sick..I would rather use my sick time instead of my vacation time...and I don't want anyone & work knowing what I am doing...Good Luck..!!

I wish I could have called in sick, but some people already know. Besides they would need a doctors note for that long!

I wish you much luck! When are you going in???

How much time are you taking off? I was hoping to only miss 3 days of work. Am I crazy????

I've requested 2 weeks and 2 days. My surgery if on a Thursday so I just added the 2 days. I figured I'd need the time to get used to eating that way more than the recovery but I guess I won't know till I get there.

Yes you are. 3 days? Are you kidding me? You are going to need more than three days. I had my surgery on a Wednesday and discharged on Friday, which is basically two days. You can't possibly heal in 3 days. No way Jose.

I took 4 weeks off and needed every bit of it. But then I had serious co-morbidities and needed to adjust my meds as I recovered. Don't rush it. This is major surgery and you don't want to suffer a setback.

I am not sure where everyone works but I thought the while point of sick leave is for times like these!!

I'm having surgery on a Monday (Mexico), returning to work the following Monday for half days during the week of Christmas. My office is pretty quiet during the week of Christmas usually.

I am asking and was approved for two weeks off! I don't think three days is long enough. What does your doc say?

I agree! This is what sick time is supposed to b used for!!!

I am asking for 7 weeks off when I get my surgery date I have so much time and almost never call out I am going to make sure I am completely healed and ready to return

It all depends on your job type and your body. I have a desk job and was off one week, then back to work 45 hrs/week. I was ready, but if I had a physically demanding job I would've needed more time. I could have done three days if it were plus the weekend.
