I got my surgery date today...August 12th. I am so excited. I have to have filters placed a few days before due to getting blood clots after my last surgery. How long did everyone wait till they went back to work? I am a taxi cab driver and on most days rarely get out of my car to walk so I'm nervous about going back to soon.

Thanks for the responses. I told my boss I would need around 3 weeks off. I might come back sooner and see how I do for half a day and just see how I feel. We get extremely busy some days and I drive for 10 hours. Some days I don't even have time to stop to eat or use the restroom. My work is being really nice about everything

What vitamins do you Ds'ers take daily. I was going over my packet from my surgeons office and they have me set up for the DS but gave info on the gastric bypass. I will be calling next week to ask for the right packet to be sent since I live over an hour away. I was just trying to plan ahead and buy in bulk with my tax return.

Thanks for the responses. Postop thanks for the info. I am looking into the vitamins now. I am trying to be prepared as much as I can. I am getting very excited and talking my families ear off about this surgery. I can't wait to start my new healthy life

Thanks for the response. A few people I have talked to said theirs also took around 3 to 4 months. I am getting excited and will be calling this week to see if they sent the referral to the psychologist. I have an appointment tomorrow with a new primary care doctor I am hoping to get her to sign off for medical clearance -

Yes I have to pay for the nutritionist and waiting for the psychologist to call to set up an appointment. Then once those are done and I get the insurance approval I have to attend the 4 hour class at memorial. How long did it take you from your first consult to have the surgery? -

I grew up in Ceres but moved to Sonora a couple years ago. I am having my surgery done in Modesto -
Hi today was my consult with the surgeon. He has suggested the DS. I am happy with his choice. I am new to this app and just wanted to share with everyone. I am excited to finally be going through with the surgery. I have debated on and off for 10 years but today feel more then ready to change my life.
