All I can remember from when I used sick time through EI is that I didn't have to serve the 2 week waiting period and you have to use up any sick time you have through your employer.

Best of luck!

Good luck with your surgery. I had a Roux-en-Y on May 13th. Fortunately, I am an educator so I have been off work since then. I will go back to work in the fall again. I had paid sick leave benefits for the entire time I was off work. I have been very fortunate that way.

Hi K

Good luck on your surgery!

We went thru craving change together.

I think you would be back at work before you got EI. It takes 6 weeks. Alot if the people that I have met at group meets said they took off 3 weeks and were back at work no problem.

I've booked off two weeks. I sit at a desk all day for work. if I am feeling crappy I will take that 3rd week off.

Topic: Employment Insurance

Hey folks.

I just received my Roux-en-Y surgery date, August 12th.

I'm looking for some advice regarding EI:

When did you apply?
Were you approved, and if so...
When did you get your ROE?
When did you get the certificate from the surgeon?
When did you get your first payment?
How long did you take off?
How much time did you really need to take off?

Thank you,

Mr. 340

Minneapolis can be super cheap for hotels... Hotwire ( can use betterbidding.com so you have an idea what hotel you are getting) you can get a hotel like a country inn and suites for like 40-60 a night... Grand forks tends to be around 75-100 a night....

I'm good with either :-)
