Everyone here had/will have/strongly considering wls.

That means your weight is something that you think about.

A lot.

Let's take that out of the equation.

So minus talking about weight, briefly describe/pitch yourself...

Hiyo! I'm Kim. 38 years young, single mom of 2 in Texas. I found this forum back in 2008 when it was still LapBandTalk. Since then I've been waiting for the opportunity to have surgery covered by insurance...fast forward to 2018 and that time has finally come! I work in the software industry focusing on secure enterprise and personal mobility. Our apps and hardware are used by 100's of thousands of US military, DoD and government members. I love weird birds, the 90's, the smell of Home Depot and severe thunderstorms

Your Avatar rules.

Awwww thank you!

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've been rather busy.

Anyway. My job kind of has two parts. The first is doing a final proofread. I work for a newspaper, and the editor is the one who mostly edits over the articles. However, we do one final look just to make sure there isn't anything that's missed.

The other (and main) part of my job is putting the pages together. We figure out where the articles and pictures should go on the page, as well as pick out the national and international articles that should go in the paper. Then we send the pages to the pressman for printing.

Oh man, that sounds like my cup of tea. In another life, I'd love to put books, magazines, newspapers together! When I was in student groups many moons ago, I was always the one putting newsletters and brochures together!

I'm new here. I am a 44-year-old Graduate student earning a masters in Social Work. I have 2 kiddos and a hubby. I am obsessed with my Pomeranian, Rocket. I love traveling, going to amusement parks, the beach and the mountains. I watch too much TV and used to go out to eat and stuff my face until about 2 weeks ago when I suddenly lost 70-80% of my stomach. Weird.

HI! I'm a 52-year-old professional woman working in healthcare. I'm in the middle of obtaining my MPH. I love horses and pretty much anything horse-related. It's a sickness, really, but I've had it all my life and I can't get rid of it! Giddyup!!

I've missed so many wonder intros!!!

You ALL sound really interesting and amazing

Love this thread! 58 year old physician (radiologist) in NJ/FL; had lap band 2008 (removed 2015) now on deck for (and on fence about) gastric sleeve. Basically no hobbies but blessed with amazing friends and family. My main truth: dogs are the best thing in the world.

Hi Julie -

Welcome. I was banded in 2002 and was quite successful until I wasn't and slip, dilated esophagus, blah, blah, blah. Had it removed in 2017 and was totally on the fence about anther surgery. After I had regained all my weight, threw in the towel. Was sleeved in August 2018. Much easier to work with than the band. Down 60 pounds. I understand the hesitancy - but so glad I did it.
