Hi I am new. I just started my new journey last November. I love reading all the topics I have learned a lot today. I don't have a surgery date yet. I went for my last appointment yesterday and now the bariatric group will discuss if I am a candidate or not. Then I will should get an appointment to meet the surgeon. My sisters are worried about the surgery . I told them to stop focusing on the surgery but on the fact that I am going to do a major change to improve my life. I find a lot of people that I have told are not supportive and then a lot are. I decided to stop talking about the surgery because of the negative responses. My husband is supportive but he doesn't talk about it . I was wondering if someone can give me an idea how long I should plan on being out of work after surgery. I pretty much have a desk job with walking around the plant (which I read makes you feel better). Also I have reflux will it get worse after surgery if I can control it now?
