What do you all do?

I have been a EFDA, Dental Assistant for the last 2 1/2 years, and prior to that I was a Pharmacy Technician - I still keep my Pharmacy license up to date just in case I ever decide to go back. I would love to become a pharmacist but with 2 small kids and being 3 hours from one of the nearest schools, it just doesnt work.

But since becoming a Dental Assistant, I really seem to enjoy that. Believe me, you never look at someones mouth/teeth ever the same again. LOL :thumbup:

I am a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), which means I put people to sleep for sugery. Chances are if you all had lap-band surgery a CRNA took care of you!

I'm a surgical grossing tech for a pathology group. Which means that when you go to the doctor and have stuff cut off it gets sent to me. I find the clinically important parts and send them on to the pathologists.

I think it is the best job ever. :-D

Kinda what I do...I am a histotech at a Childrens hospital. 17 years later and yep! its the best job ever!:thumbup:

I am a Lead Business Analyst in the IT department of a very large U.S. Airline. Love my job, hate the constant uncertainty of whether or not I will be one of the unlucky ones who gets layed off.

      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.
