Time off work

I am in the process of trying to get approved for the surgery. I am currently doing my 3-6 month diet/exercise (just started last week). I was wondering how long is the average amount of time you get off from work... barring any complications. And is 2 - 3 months time to recuperate before going on vacation. Thanks for your help, I am so excited about having this surgery... I can hardly stand it.

ok well i had mine done Lap and i had surgery on Tuesday and the following monday i was working half days but i have a desk job ...But they say to take two weeks at least .....Also i had surgery on April 6 and May 26 i was going to Disney World ..And everything was fine ..Jsut drink alot of water ...That was the most important thing for me on vacation that earlie ....but you will do fine Laura

I had lap RNY and was off work 2 weeks and returned to my desk job after that. However, I was still tired after working all day, but didnt have anymore time to take. As for vacation I went on a short vacation 3 months after surgery and was fine. Hope this helps, everyone is different. Kelly S
