Recovery Time, Excess Skin, & Long Term Effects???

Hello :) I was wondering three things: One, how long was your recovery time for gastric bypass? I only get a week off from work and I was wondering if that is good enough or not. I am 23 years old if that has to do with anything. :) Second, I am nervous about excess skin. I am needing to lose around 150 lbs and I plan on exercising, and following the diet perfectly. Any tips or advice on other things to do for prevention? Lastly, my parents are extremely nervous about any long term negative side effects from the surgery. Thank you so so much!
