I Got Questions About Jobs And Going To School Plz Help



Recommended Posts

hey guys i hope everyone is doing great. well i did get my lapband sept 29 and since then from 319 i now weigh 286 im so proud of myself. Anywho i am currently looking for a job to better myself and my one yr old son. how ever now everywhere i look to apply something that takes my interest they require a degree of some sort. I personally dont much work experience except at daycares thats it. well im very interested in working at a police department inputing information on to the computer. maybe working at a courthouse or something. or maybe perhaps i can go to school. im not into the whole community college different class thing. im wondering if theres a school i can attend that i can learn some basics or what not. i am in public assistance and i think its time to give some one else a chance and little by little get off the help. i really want to do things on my own im getting my confidence back and im starting to feel like a new person little by little =] any help would be appriciated. or maybe any ideas on employment that dont require much i need to work for my son. thanks in advanced guys godbless and good luck with your bands or the band process. I LOVE MY BAND

Congratulations on making such great steps to improve your life and to set a good example for your son. I would suggest that you work on your punctuation and grammar to improve your employability. I hope you find something soon.

Public assistance offers free classes in language, GED, looking for jobs that suit your education and experience. I would start there. Start writing your resume and get help with your grammar and punctuation. Best of luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
