dyemond11 43 Posted March 24, 2017 It really depends on your job and what you do. I have a desk job and I took the maximum of what my doctor would give me which was 3 weeks.Although I didn't Need three weeks I took it. There was another lady in our office with the same surgery she only took a week.Every job offers FMLA where you can receive up to 12 weeks of leave per year, if you don't want your job to know you medical reason of your leave have your doctor to write the diagnosis codes only on your FMLA paperwork and not write it out (gastric sleeve).Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
