nictimbur 6 Posted June 14, 2016 I'm scheduled for the gastric sleeve and I'm very excited! I just want to get to a happy healthy place. I have 18 days out of work, wondering do I need that many days? One week is paid, but the rest is unpaid.

abuckeyeleaf 16 Posted June 15, 2016 I don't think you'll need that many, assuming you don't have a physically strenuous job. I have friends who are post-op who say a week was more than enough. One actually was sleeved in Tijuana last month and went sightseeing when she left the hospital. The only thing to keep in mind is how long it'll be before you can drive again. Some have said as long as 7-10 days after surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
