I am a single mom with almost 3 year old twins (boy and girl). I work as a medical transcriptionist from home (for a nearby hospital--where my surgery will be!) at night when the kids are asleep. I get in 30-40 hours a week, depending on how it goes! :) I am so lucky I get to be with my kids all day and still able to support us! I am so thankful for that!

Wow, you guys have neat jobs!!!

Don't knock being a stay at home mom. If I had kids, I would quit the first day!!!

Nita, do you have a website of your work??

I work as a deejay for a radio station. I am also the Program director, music director, and any other hat that fits that day. It may sound like fun, but, pay sucks!!! I have been doing it now for 12 years and getting burned out. I would like to get into Website Design.

Denise,

I sure hope no one knocks being a stay at home mom(or dad). Between all the work I do I also do all the house work...inside and out. My wife works very hard and her hours are so off norm that it doens't give her the chance on weekdays to do the house cleaning and cooking. SO I do... and because of this I know for a fact it is the hardest of all jobs and the pays sucks big time. Only benifit is the satisfaction of caring for the needs of the family. Wife handles it all on weekends which gives me a break.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
