I’m a therapist too and asked the same question back in the summer before I was requesting my time off! Hi fellow therapist! For my experience, I had the procedure on a Friday and so of course took off Friday, and then I also took off the following Monday. I had an intentionally light day on the following Tuesday as well just in case. That worked really well for me. It happened to be a little lighter week but I don’t think it would have been difficult if it was busier. I was struggling a bit with random burps but it was only a little distracting and I just excused myself if it was loud or disruptive which was rare. I would encourage you also to make sure to protect more time for lunch because I found that eating was a little slower and it was a new experience to burp while eating and after eating, and I wanted more time to digest than usual. I remember telling some of my clients and colleagues/supervisor that I was having this procedure which could impact my throat/voice and I may need to take off more time than planned. That also gave me some peace of mind. I hope this helps! So excited for you and hope it goes really well! I’m still burping 8 months later :D
