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.

I am a SAHM, three children, daughter 22 (she no longer lives at home), son 13 and son10. I am currently studying to become a certified personal trainer and hope to do this part time in my home.

I am a secretary at a local University.

Another one in the medical field....I have been a RN for 10 yrs in Mississippi. Pre op still!!! Seems like surgery will never get here. Sept 13th is my final visit in the 6 month dr supervised diet. I also am doing all of my pre op testing and my pre op class that same day. Then we will be submitting to UHC for approval. A tentative surgery date for the end of sept. I know it's not that far away now' date=' but it has taken so long to get here. I feel like I won't believe it's happening until I wake up from surgery. Been trying to get here for over a year.

Why are there so many nurses in need of this surgery?[/quote']

Hi Lafayette Patty? Just guessing. All of us lower MS/LA folks should get together for snack a.k.a. "Lunch" someday.
