Notsure

Hi all, I am 32 5'11, 279 lbs and trying to get my weight down. I need some information and guidance. 1) how much time do you have to take off of work with this WLS 2) What is the average cost? 3) Does anyone know of any dr. in the Pensacola, Fl area they would recommend? 4) How quickly are you able to return to exercise, bending or lifting after WLS? Thanks for the answers!
