Job & Exercise
Think of it like this, you can always lose a job and get another one, but you can't lose your life and get it back. Having the surgery is priority in being able to live your life. I know all this is easier said than done and there are many factors that go into making this decision, but really in the whole scheme of things, is it not better to be around for your family and for yourself than just living day to day in an overweight body on your job site.
Only you can make that decision. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi
this is kingsnuche
I am currently on the road to WLS. I plan on having the duodenal switch laparoscopic as soon as I get through with all the pre-op stuff. I think of a new question about every two minutes or so, but by the time I get online (poof) it's gone. I guess that comes with age. Here is what I am currently wondering. Weightlifting. I hear about possibilities of getting hernias after WLS. Will I be able to lift weights again, or will I constantly be having blow outs? My job also concerns me. I do not have an office job. Some days I sit around all day with my feet propped up. Other days I might be climbing an 85ft silo (yes I do this at 350 lbs & 49 BMI), or twisting wrenches with all I've got. Or whooping the hell outta something with a 20 pound sledge hammer. How long do you think I'll be out of work? I will be needing to get back ASAP ($$$). My doc (whom I have not met) claims on his website that you'll be back doing any exercise within two weeks. I ain't too sure about that. Just let me in on your experiences.
