I teach marketing and general business courses to high school students. I am also the DECA advisor and I love it - if I couldn't teach marketing with DECA I would find a new career!

I am also a mom to two beautful children, 4 dogs and one horse. Oh yeah, and the wife of my best friend!

I am a 4th and 5th grade English teacher at a very rural impoverished school in East Tennessee. I love my job, and I love my school!

I will finish my Ed.S. degree in Administration and Supervision in three weeks, which will qualify me to be a principal or otherwise work in school administration, but I'm happy in the classroom for now. I went ahead with the degree now because the raise is great, and I wanted to get my last graduate degree before I have children. After my masters and this, I'm finished with research for life, so there will be no doctorate in my future!

So interesting to read, that is for sure!!

As for me, I work in the Law Dept. of a very large electronics company, and until 2 months ago I worked in the international trade field utilizing my Customs Broker License. I luckily avoided a layoff a few months ago and accepted another position in the Law Dept. as Legal Administration Manager managing the systems, accounting, and even the process that nearly laid me off before.. funny how that works! I'm very happy to be still at my company as I have been here for 21 years. :thumbup:

I am a Certified Rolfer. I just quit my job with the school system as a Special Education Case Manager and I am doing the Rolfing full time. That was the biggest risk I have ever taken and getting the lapband surgery will be the second one.

(Rolfing is a form of manual therapy that addresses soft tissue restrictions in the body that often creates opportunities for better posture, less muscle tension and greater ease and flexibility in the body.)

I am kind of worried because my work is very active, so I would love to hear from anyone who has a physically demanding job. I am taking two weeks off to recover from my surgery that is scheduled for 12 August.

      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.
