  1. Happy 56th Birthday Bearbumper!

  2. Happy 55th Birthday Bearbumper!

  3. I am seriously considering having this procedure done. But, because of distance, income, and benefit constrictions I would like to ask a few questions of those who have been there. I would seriously hate to wast a full day driving to Las Vegas only to find that I cannot afford to meet the pre-op requirements. 1: How many times a week or month did you have to see your doctor or dietitian during the counseling period? 2: In general, sans complications, what is the recovery period....how long before I could go back to work at a desk job? 3: How often will I have to see my dr in the period immediately after the surgery? I am quite sure that everyone is different, but I am looking for generalities from which I can piece together some probabilities to base my plans on
  4. At this point in time I am looking for information that will help me make plans for this process. While my husband and I make a fair living I have no sick or annual leave to use. We also live a minimum of 2 hours away from the nearest center which means a full day with out pay for me, and our budget can only handle so many of those before disaster sets in. I am looking for general information at this time.
