Sleevers by profession.

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 and fun topic, hopefully when I get home tonight I will have more time to read through it all. I work as a coordinator for a major non-profit agency. I am also a health advisor for MySurgeryOptions.com, owned and operated my Alex, who founded VST. I love everything I do and stay quite busy.

I think that there are so many here from the medical profession specifically nurses is because there seems to be so many obese nurses! Just my observation

I am a Labor and Birth nurse in Connecticut. Right on, Future Texas Nurse, weight and nursing are both hard on the body, and I have the knees to prove it! I'm glad you are thinking ahead.

I work in social services/legal field and also do mental health rehabilitation on the side. I'm still pre-op at the moment.

Wow, very interesting. Just wondering what your qualifications are for being a health advisor?

Intellectual property! I'm in real property. How does one go about switching specialties?

I would imagine working for a small-medium sized general practice firm where there may be some cross-over or cross-training. It's hard once you've begun travelling down a particular path to change course, as I'm sure you know...
