I have enough support from my coworkers that I would be able to have help with lifting and rolling patients I'm just worried about the 12 hour night shifts and exhaustion.

I'm sure this is been asked before but I am just starting the process and am wondering how much time people took off work. I am a nurse and I work 12 hour night shifts I have 2 jobs and support a family of six so I can't take a ton of time off. I am hoping to only need two weeks off but I am worried about complications and needing more time off because of them.

I am 32 years old 5ft8 280lbs. I have been thinking about this for about a year but just started telling my husband and doing research a month ago. I have been lurking for about 3weeks! I originally was looking at the band but my insurance doesn't cover it so I started researching the sleeve seems like it maybe a better choice. I completed my online paperwork and seminar and today I received my orders for blood work and they will also be sending me information on my pre op appointments I am excited and nervous and just want it to be over so I can start living again. I have four kids and I'm tired of feeling lazy and not being able or wanting to do anything with them
