Hi Everyone' date=' I work for a fortune 500 company in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, as a Quality Manager, PMP and a Six Sigma Black Belt freak/geek, working towards my 6-Sigma Master Black Belt certification. I support Public Safety two way radios and the networking systems that make them work. I get to travel all over the world visiting my suppliers and customers which has been very exciting....(Germany, Mexico, Malaysia, Singapore, Asia, Brazil) to name various international cool places I've been fortunate enough to visit. I traveled almost everywhere in the US. I started my career as a software engineer, then a Network Administrator and it's been a fantastic ride so far!![/quote']

Good luck. I earned my MBB years ago while working at GE. Six Sigma kind of makes you look at things in a whole new way doesn't it? I look at most things analytically, which drives my wife crazy at times

I review/audit medical charts for the Federal Government. I'm in my first of three months of supervised diet and nutrition. I'm hoping for a January surgery date.

Sadly, I'm unemployed. Gladly, it started right before my surgery, so I've had some nice time off during recovery.

But usually I'm an editor/website manager. And a jewelry designer (the hobby that took over more than 40 hours a week of my life! ;))

That's awesome. GE and Motorola put 6-Sigma on the map. I should become an MBB by the end of this year. 6-Sigma truly makes you look at everything in life in a different matter. I went as far as incorporating 6-Sigma to improve my golf swing. I used control charts to help me identify unstable performance in my golf scores, scores per hole for 2 years. I created check sheets to determine where my drives went, (left, center, or right). I even went as far as documenting a fish bone for my putting and drives. I went from shooting in the 100's to shooting in the upper 80's.

With Lean now being a major part of 6-Sigma, I've also been incorporating Lean concepts in my everyday life, getting ride of waste making my personal time more efficient everyday and incorporating 5S in my garage has made wonders!!

Ha! I've 5S'd my house and use the Lean concepts at home as well. We used both at my last job at Boston Scientific.

I am currently a stay at home mom of three ages 6 to 16. I do a lot of volunteering both at the elementary school my two youngest attend and also with the Plymouth area coalition for the homeless (we put homeless men up in local churches for about six months a year' date=' feeding them dinner and making sure there are always two chaperones with them). I was previously a preschool teacher with a short stint in a toddler room and was also an infant teacher. Would love to go back to school for social services.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
