I am the president of a marketing agency that focused on data, Analytics and digital. So far I am winning the nerd award. What a surprise (story of my life) :). Six days sleeved, yippee!

I am a sales engineer for an electrical company that sells to the construction industry. Needless to say I researched the procedure before signing up. Best move I ever made.

I am God..

No, sorry, that was my internal dialogue.

I do pan western/eastern hemisphere paper-clip distribution.

Nope, that's not it either, although it is often close.

Closer to the truth? I do legal navel inspection and belly button fluff removal in failed or fragile states.... :D

Love this thread.

I'm the codes and standards manager for a plastic piping company. Hold many positions on various construction code bodies and ensure my companies products and installations confirm to the appropriate codes and standards for the jurisdiction of installation.

I might be in the running for the need award!

Why are there so many nurses in need of this surgery?

I feel a little guilty, I think doctors are partially to blame. I know I was always advised if the nurses were giving you a hard time or paging you all night, the solution was bringing a box of donuts or cupcakes to the nurses' station!

I am a RP (Rapid Prototyping) Supervisor. I make the first of everything, from pen caps to helicopter engines. The parts are literally grown layer by layer using liquid photo polymers and UV lasers. In lay-mans terms....3D printing.

I love what I do. I have the opportunity to work on something different every day.

Although, prior to this I was in the Jewelry industry for 10 years. Prior to that I was a corrections officer.

Lets just say I am diversified.

I'm a 911 dispatcher for a three county dispatch center in Northern Michigan. I've been working midnight shifts for the last 12 years and for most of my adult life. I'm curious how many others would attest that shift work throws their eating habits (and sleeping) into a spiral of chaos?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
