Great topic!!

I am 35 and have been teaching high school special education for 11 years in NY. My second job is a single mom to a 3 1/2 yr old! Yesterday marked two weeks that I was sleeved. Feeling great! Down about 17lbs post-op and getting REALLY bored with my liquid diet. One more week and I'm in to puréed : ). Looking forward to the next chapter.

I am a dental hygienist here representing the dental community. How would you like your hygienist to be obese? Probably not much...I recently had a patient report back to the doctor that I was messy and unkept. I shower, do my hair and makeup everyday and Iron my uniform. Had to be my weight. I'm a pre-sleever!

Midnights did contribute to my weight gain. There are studies out now stating lack of sleep is proven in weight gain. 15 yrs of midnights did a number to me.

Are you northern lower Michigan or northern UP Michigan??

Interesting. I'd like to see those because I've only seen studies that show a correlation between lack of sleep and weight gain, not proof.

Great thread. I'm a chemical plant operator (no....not a telephone type operator). I make detergents that go into your car's engine oil. But I'm about to quit to go back to school full time to be a vet tech. Ssshhhhh....don't tell them.

Oh yeah....part time massage therapist and part time bicycle mechanic as well. I stay busy.

I hate people with prejudices against overweight people. Unless they walk in any one of our shoes they will never understand. People stink.
