The waiting game begins

Aug 04, 2009

So.. I had my appointment today with Dr. Harris.  I really like him, his staff is very friendly.  I've done so much research on weight loss surgery I felt very comfortable, because I knew everything that was being said.  What I was surprised about is the recovery time.  I want to have laprospocpic gastic bypass, I was surprised when the time to go back to work is about 2 weeks.   Anyone need that long to go back to work?  Does short term disability kick in?  I have short term disablity at work, but I really don't want to discuss my personal medical information with our human resource director, she is not known to be discret.  

My first appointment with Alison is set up for August 18th, which was my original appointment date, so that means I'm 2 weeks ahead of schedule.  Although, if I need 2 weeks of vacation and sick time, I will have to wait until 2010 to have my surgery.  I am really hoping to have it at the end of the year....but I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Anyone start low carb diet after first visit?  He suggested this to me....
