Hey! Just wondering how much you've looked into the nurse corps? I've been an RN for 3 years now and have always considered going into military nursing, weight always being one of the stopping factors. After deciding to get the band and realizing the possibility of a military career, I've read in multiple places and from many people that having a lap band, as of right now, is considered an automatic medical disqualifier for the military. Anyway just wondering if you've heard anything about it!

My motivations:

1. I want to be healthy again
   
2. I want to play with my kids and NOT get tired
   
3. I want to get pregnant once i loose the weight and to look pregnant rather than fat
   
4. I want a better sex life with my husband. I've gotten rather boring over the past few years
   
5. I want more choices in clothing - I'm tired of settling for what fits.
   
6. I dont want my kids to be the ones with the "fat mom" at school.
   
7. I need to feel better about myself and I know this will help.
   

My goals::thumbdown:

1. By christmas of 2009 I want to be between 200 and 250 (currently sporting a weight of 306.2)
   
2. By the summer of 2010 - I want to be between 150 and 200.
   
3. Ultimately I'd love to be about 150 again.
   

I know those are broad weight goals, but I'm leaving them that way so that I don't put to much pressure on myself. I'll be happy to make it to that point.

My motivation is to be able to do things that everyone else my age can do.

-buy regular sized clothes.

-be able to ride roller coasters without having to worry if I'll fit.

-be able to run a mile.

there are so many things that motivate me I just can't think of them all right now. My goal weight is to be 170. I'm 5'10 and I don't want to be super skinny, I want to still have my curves. My doctors thinks that I will get down to 150. I would love to reach goal in the next year and definately think I can do that!
