Hi all-

Some you may remember that I posted about a month ago about a big job interview I had and that I got a call back. Well, I got the call today and was offered the position. This position is MUCH higher than my current position and the salary is a FIFTY percent increase over my current salary. To say I am thrilled is putting it lightly.

The thing that I have thought about the most today as I accepted congratulations from friends and colleagues, is that I truly never would have applied for this position had I not had the sleeve surgery. The confidence that has come with taking control of my eating habits and the subsequent weight loss has changed me. And, for that, I am so incredibly grateful. I also keep thinking that this surgery just infinitely paid for itself!

If you are in the investigation or pre-op phase, I want you to know how much positive impact this choice to have surgery and change your life can have on areas outside of your health and weight. I am so happy I could dance on table tops!!!

Congrats to you! How wonderful for you! Good luck with your new position!

Congrads my friend. So many reasons to be proud of yourself.

Thank you all! I've been shopping like a mad woman for a slightly more professional wardrobe (and because I am out of clothes that fit). It's been seriously hard to accept that I don't wear an 18 or higher and that a Large will do just fine rather than an XXL. It's a great problem to have!
