Sorry, shoulda finished reading posts before duplicating.

My hubby spends a lot of time surfing USAJOBS as he's federal and we've been through the process many times. Gotta move to move up, so to speak. He could answer questions if you want to PM me.

Ha! Hate when I do that! :)

Medical Technologist, or lab geek for those who don't know what an MT is. When they say they're sending your ______ for testing, that's me doing the testing. LOL. I noticed a large number of medical people had had this done too while i was getting all my pre-op treatment done. Every doctors office I went to had someone in it who had surgery.

I was reading a study this morning..

55% of nurses are overweight or obese..

my profession ??? I am of the oldest profession

(Not that! get your minds out of the gutter <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />)

I am a mom and a wife. The woman on the block that all the other women send there kids to after school if they are stuck at work..

So much for ...

"If a man will not work' date=' he shall not eat" (2 Thess 3:10)[/quote']

You have a great and much needed job. Working

(Away from home) moms need someone like you who can and is willing to be their when they can't. The best thing for children is to have mom at home. But now days even more so that's not always an option. So thanks for being there.

I'm thankful that we have so many nurses in here. If this were not the best WLS procedure, the nurses would know that. Being pre-op, it's reassuring that I've chosen the right path.

My reason for being and most important job is mother to three amazing sons. They are 13, 9 and 4. My other full time job is as a speech pathologist in a nursing home. I've worked with geriatric patients for 18 years and I see the effects of obesity in the later years. Later being relative. We've had a recent run of people in their 40's and 50's who have had strokes related to weight, high blood pressure and diabetes. It's not pretty and I plan to do whatever it takes to avoid it. Nothing depresses me more than seeing a young person that I know for sure is going I be living in the nursing home starting in their 50's. That is a horrible sentence. I commend all of us on here who are fighting the good fight and trying to improve our odds. It's worth it.
