What would you do???

I would take option 1. You can get the gastric byp and while you are on leave work on your resume. If you are used to the job and it is not hard, it will be easier for you to take cles. I have a job that I do not care for, but I keep it because the money is good and the benifits are good and they pay for school. The job is not very hard, so it is easy to concentrate on school. I got the gastric byp a few months ago and I got to be on leave for a month. It gave me a breather from my job and I do not hate work as much as I did before I went on leave. The job market now is tough. It is becoming harder to find a job with good bennifits and pay. I plan on going to school to get more skills and riding out these bad times. But then again.... you may not really want to take my advice. I have a job I hate. I have gotten so overweight that I needed a gastric byp. And I am single.
