Uniqueladybug 80 Posted August 19, 2012 I got my approval! Should have my date by Monday!! How long is everyone taking off of work? Hey there! Congratulations!!! I will most likely be off for six weeks. I work in health care and do a lot of lifting and tugging/pulling. My dr said if I had a desk job I could go back in about three. I'm not supposed to drive for the first two weeks. Let us know when your date is.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crstalww 228 Posted August 19, 2012 My name is crystal and I've just started my journey . I have completed info session nutrition class first dr appointment now on sept 26 I have to meet with the nurse meet the nutritionist and social worker . I know one person who has had the gastric bypass and does not regret it one bit. I'm a mom of 4 teens and 11 year old daughter ooh yes and our one year old grandson. I'm nervous but I need this so I can live and be healthy so that I can see my grand babies and grow old with my husband. My husband says I love you the way you are no matter what. He knows due to dome health issues I need to do this journey for me. 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
