Sleevers by profession.

[BWaltD 87]

My first post here, been reading for months. Seems a lot of people posting are in the medical field. I thought it would be cool to hear what fellow sleevers do for a living.

The wife and I are both Respiratory Therapists here in Michigan. I am just starting this journey with my 8 hour information seminar ( pre-op ) scheduled for later this month. My better half was sleeved the end of April. She is doing awesome. Down 84 lbs total including the pre-op weight loss.

Im so excited to get my life back after getting this incredible weight loss tool.

Hope to hear from you guys.

Interesting thread. I am a computer consultant living in Chicago. I travel around the country setting up Human Resources systems.

Sleeved 5/5/13. Down 47 lbs today, and I have my life back!

I'm in Public Health (Environmental, Registered Sanitarian)

I'm just over 2 weeks out and am doing great. Had no complications, incisions are closed, and I started back to work this morning (1/2 time for a week, back to 100% on Monday) Down about 8lbs since the morning before surgery (around 17 if you start counting from after surgery with all the IV fluids on board)

Glad to hear your wife is doing well and I wish you the best as you work toward a better and healthier life!

I am a nursing student. As a future nurse I felt that it would be hypocritical to be over weight while trying to help my patients live healthier lives.

Plus all the work conditions really wear down the body I don't wanna be in my late 30s early 40s not able to function as well as I need to because of the added weight.

I am an ultrasound technologist in Northern California. I agree there seems to be a lot of people in the health profession on this site. Good luck with your surgery.

Good morning all, this is my first post although I've been lurking since February. I'm a legal secretary in WA state. I am planning on booking my surgery through Dr. Garcia for December, probably mid month.
