Jobs involving the Lap Band?

[PureGamble 46]

Hi All,

I had lap band surgery around 16 months ago and I'm down about 120 lbs (10 from my goal). I'm 25 and looking to make a career change and was really interested in seeing if their are any careers out their dealing with the Lap Band (besides a surgeon). Was just curious if anyone has an opinion or suggestion feel free to comment. Also not opposed to going back to school to obtain another degree. I live in Illinois and currently have a marketing degree.

This is out of my area but I just wanted to chime in and say way to go -- ten pounds from goal, happy and healthy at 25, you will make a great career choice!

Ask at your doctor's office about career opportunities in the field. The first things I thought of are the nutritionists and the patient liason position. Maybe even something on the clinical side if you're willing to go for another degree. My friend's daughter graduated college with a graphics design degree and she couldn't find a decent job. She went back to school and got her nursing degree and is now taking classes to be a PA. She's only 35 and has a whole new career...and one that she will always be able to earn a living from I might add. Good luck. Let us know if you find something that piques your interest.
