So I have a job interview tomorrow and I have to go in my closet to look for something to wear....I havent worn anything professional in along time cuz I gained so much weight....Well I am scared to go in because I dont wanna be dissapointed if I still dont find anything to wear....Wish me luck!

Good Luck Zeniada. I hope the interview went well. I'm sure you looked great!!

I went on an interview after I had taken off 100 pounds. I bombed the interview because the weightloss was on my mind. All I could think of was sagging skin! OMG....... I left thinking how bad I did. At one point he asked me to tell him a little about myself and I was stumped ...... "uh, duh......." All that kept going through my mind was being banded and all that goes along with it. I should have told him about all my skills! I didn't say anything about my weightloss or the band, but couldn't get all out of my thoughts.

Try to keep the job in your mind and what you can bring to it. Keep your job skills on your mind. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to think about how you look.

Good luck to you. I hope you get the job.

I just had an interview and was concerned because my clothes were baggy. I interviewed for the same position in July and now I was back 33lbs lighter. Nobody said a thing (probably didnt even notice).

Best part is that I got the job and am moving back to California after 8yrs in TX.

good luck and congratulations on your interview! you will do great.

How did it go???

Nan, you joining us in San Diego??

Interview went well as well as interviews go that is...I had to fill out a comprehension evaluation on myself and one of the questions was something like what is one of the goals you are working on and what are you doing to achieve it...I put weight loss..Duh right!

Well we'll see if I did well if they call me for a second interview.

As far as my closet needless to say I got a long way to go before I fit into some of the nicer things but I was able to put on a nice pair of slacks that I havent worn in over 5 years so that's a plus!!!

I'm job hunting too! I told my mom I'm not buying an outfit until I get an interview because it won't fit by then! Haha. Nothing is more uncomfortable than interview outfits, so I'm glad to lose weight and find something that fits good and looks nice

Cocoa,

I am moving to Turlock. A small town in the Central Valley, near Modesto. I wish it was SD!

Zen, here's hoping for a call-back!

Nan, I was a central valley-ite for a while. Sacramento and Red Bluff (by Redding). I loved it up there! My job brought me down here. Love it here, too. Home is where you make it.

I love San Diego! I'd love to live there someday. I'm an LA girl

Nan! If you're looking for a doctor...try Dr. Coirin in Modesto. You're moving about 15 minutes away from the town. No...it's not San Diego...but...you're only an hour from BART (the rail system that goes throughout the Bay Area) and if you wanted to drive to San Francisco...it's an hour and a half with traffic.

Dr. Coirin did my surgery 1/10/11 and he was great. His office is just down Spanos behind Memorial Hospital off of McHenry Ave in Modesto. Welcome to the Valley! You'll be here just in time for summer!!

Thanks for the heads up about the Modesto doc. I lived in Modesto for about 20yrs, now going back. I am going to work at Emanuel Med Center in Turlock and they only have 1 doc on their plan. Dr Dao, so that is the person I have to use, or self pay.

I am sure he will be fine.

Also Zen, my fingers are crossed that you get the job!
