I had 2 doctors suggest I get the gastrol by-pass surgery. One doctor was the doctor that did the hip replacement surgery. He said if I don't lose the weight The hip won't last long. I'm 5' 5 1/2" tall and weigh 252 now. The other doctor was the heart doctor I saw the next day. So they want me to see my doctor to setup getting the surgery. I just had some surgery and was wondering if I have the surgery how long will it take for me to get well enough to go back to DJing? Honestly I'm afraid to get the surgery. Especially since I just had surgery in January for my left hip. Anybody had this surgery and if so how was it for you? How long did it take before you could get back to the business? Please help if you can.
