I'm Ready for my Change - Kenosha, WI

UPDATED FROM Finally_gotthenerve

Well due to the availability of my vacation time...

Well due to the availability of my vacation time at work, I have to push my expected procedure date back to September :( I have to use the time I have now for my consultations and once that's done I won't have sufficient time off for recovery. So in September I will earn more vacation then I will be able to go ahead with my procedure. On the bright side that will give me more time to try to shed excess weight and save more money just in case. Then I will be able to take the time I need to fully recover before returning to work. All in all it's a small setback leaving me feeling bittersweet. I'm learning patience is key.

Way to look at the positive side of this by saying it will give you more time to lose weight and save money. September will be here before you know it!!
Yeah I am trying to stay positive uniquely.
Congrats on your decision!!!! Now that you know what the time frame is you can excel and be ready!!! I am scheduled for March 15, and have lost over 80 lbs..... Hoping my drains come out before 10 days.....plan on being off work 1 1/2 weeks and then work from home another week..... fingers crossed that my plan works!!! Take care and keep in touch!!!
Good job on your weight loss. How did you do it? I hope your plan works.
hey there, im aways out from having my mommy makeover too. Im scheduled for August. It will drive you insane to wait so long but hey they say good things come to those who wait. Good luck with the wait loss! I find knowing that I have these procedures coming up has really helped me take control of my bad eating habits. I cut out all junk food and eat only foods low in sodium. But I still eat alot cause I am 8 months pregnant. Keep posting!!!
Hi slimsoon well you want to stay as healthy as possible for the little one you're carrying. I can't believe you cut all junk food. Wow that would be difficult for me but I am inspired that people can do it. Thanks for you comment.
Good luck to you! We are VERY close on height and weight! I too am hoping to be drain free by the end of week #2 I am scheduled March 1st for MM which includes breast reduction, tummy tuck and lipo of inner thighs! Again good luck to you Finally got the nerve!
Thanks knikki I will stay hopeful.

First of all best of luck-not only will you feel amazing you will look great ! I had my drains in for 10 days, so that may be a factor if you plan on returning to work,they are a pain! But if you are lucky you will only need them a wk, then at least for me it was smooth sailing! Look forward to seeing your after photos:)
Thanks Soccermama
Hi there! Congrats on your decison and new journey! Read my post, I was 210 at 5'3. I can tell you that I carried all my weight in the front end. I love my results so far and I wouldnt change a thing. You have to make the right decision for you! Yes, I to need to loose some weight but I was still an excellent candidate for this proceedure. Keep your chin up, all will be well and you will be very happy. I took 2 1/2 weeks off from work but I am also working 1 1/2 weeks from home. Take what you can afford to take off but not everyone heals the same. It will hurt but as long as you keep good pain management and listen your body you will be just fine. Keep us updated!!!!
Thanks Bluesky

I am having a difficult time trying to determine...

I am having a difficult time trying to determine how much time I need to take off from work. I work in the office behind a desk and I am hoping all I need is 2 weeks. I don't want to return to work with drains or bandages. My question is how much time off do I need from work?
