Social worker at a Substance Abuse Center. I used to be lead counselor at a residential site however due to chronic pain due to my weight and a back injury (which is why I'm getting surgery) I was "laterally transitioned" to be the Assessment Specialist in the beginning of August because it's less work. I miss my old position sooo much!!!! But I was missing a lot of work due to back related injuries from a car accident in 2011. I'm lucky I still have a job in the field I love I guess but I guess I just haven't settled into the position yet. :-/

Social worker here, working on self care! I work for a school with a lot of people and I'm not comfortable telling anyone my business, but if you've ever worked at a school you know how people gossip. This is my biggest concern regarding the surgery. I know I shouldn't worry about what others think but I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't. Anyone else feel this way?

This has got to be be a very interesting job. It takes a very strong person.
@@justme29 -- it is indeed interesting! Thanks! Hardest, most stressful job I've ever had. I'm 10 days post op & already worried about being on my game when I go back. No room for mistakes!

Congrats on getting through the process. Keep going! I am still working through the kinks. But I am a debt collector. Probate Collections. Some days I feel like I'm a licensed therapist though. I love helping people through the tough time. But in the end, collections is the job role. Just be patient with yourself.

From all the posts, it does seem we take jobs to care for others.

I'm sure you hear a lot from people! That's not an easy job. I hope your process goes nice and smooth for you. I had to self pay and wow... talk about easy when the money is all right there for them. Jumping through all the hoops would be worth it though!! My insurance has a very clear policy about WLS. No. LOL! Keep on keepin on!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
