Hey friends,

I know every one has different situations but I wonder how long it took for those of you who work to go back.. Was it difficult getting use to a different eating habit.  Were you very tired.  I am a supervisor in a busy call center, lots of changes always going on and can be stressful.  Plus I really am sick of the job and am thinking of possibly doing something different...I have no idea what though, Ive been there 12 years.  My insurance company said they will not require a doctor report until August so they have given me some time however as of now I do not feel at all ready but it is 2 months away still.  Please share with me your experiences

thanks

Angela

Hi Angela

2 weeks that's all I have got after my band. After my breast reduction/lift in March I have got 4 weeks but first my insurance compagny would give me just 2 weeks. I had to submit additionnal information to have 4 weeks. It's very streesful. I will have a tummy tuck  this Friday June 4 and I think they won't give me more than 4 weeks. I asked and they reply they give 2 weeks for a tummy tuck usually. Can you imagine? It's very hard with the Great West.

You're lucky they give you such a long time. Enjoy!
