It is an issue. I've worked in HR Management and Recruiting for most of my career. There are credible studies indicating overweight people earn less than their "fit" counterparts. I remember one high tech firm where my boss, the VP of HR had a "no slugs" policy - meaning overweight people. Needless to say, I didn't get converted from contract to full time... While I love my current job, I know that I'm less inclined to interview for a new, better paying position b/c of my weight and how it affects my self confidence.

Thank you both. Yes, I've attended seminars. And, am grateful to the folks who have taken the time to speak with me by phone off this site. Namaste, Brad

Hi, I've been interviewing doctors and am seriously considering LapBand. I'd be very grateful if any folks out there would be willing to speak with me by phone or maybe meet up for a cup of coffee to share your experiences? I'm a 38 y.o. male, live in West Hollywood, work in Marina del Rey. Thanks, Brad
