I have my surgery date set for Dec 3 which took a long time in the making. Yesterday at work my nurse manage informed me that my supervisor would not approve me for being off work thru the holidays. they thought I would only be off for 2 weeks. and get this,,, I was told I might have to cancel my surgery!! ( not an option!) I am having a lap r-n-y. I can go back on light duty and not do anything basicly for the next 2 weeks at work. I have not spoken with my doctor yet about this. when I had my pre-op visit with him we changed my procedure from lap band to r-n-y. I was thinking he said 4 weeks in a regular job but less if it was a desk job. How much time has other people scheduled off?? I will still be off on Christmas day and Christmas eve. good luck to everyone!!

My surgery is scheduled for 12-15-09 at St. Bernardines in San Bernardino, CA with Dr. Douglas Krahn-- my pre op is next Thurs. because I am going on a 12 day cruise before the surgery (it was scheduled way before the approval) I don't want to end up looking old--so, lots of water is the key (I'm told) to hydrate the skin as you lose the weight. Anyone heard that?
