I haven't taken the step of Banding yet but after seeing so many of you are in the medical field and have seemingly have done good makes me more comfortable about doing this.

As far as what I do, I am a stay at home domestic engineer. I love travel, and love using my computer. My husband & I live in N.Ind by Lake Mich. We love to go camping and canoeing (in seperate canoes though. Husbands and wives never should be in the same canoe...)

God Bless you all for the wonderful post and encouragement.

I am an attorney. Had the banding procedure on 7/1/05. Only had one fill, but I wonder if it leaked out because I don't notice any more restriction that I had before the fill.

I just joined this site today.

I'm an RN BSN, and work part time as a charge nurse on a med surg/cardiac telemetry floor. I'm mom to 3, one married, one a freshman in college, and one in 4th grade. I also have a pretty awesome son in law and a beautiful 9 month old grandson. My dh has all of the microsoft specialist certifications, and works for our regional power plant, and we both work on computers for family and friends in our spare time. My career wish is to work in some way with the youth in our community, maybe when my kids are grown and I dont need as big a salary...

Before I had children I was a special events and meeting planner. After I had my first child I happily became a stay at home mom. After my second was born I started teaching Water aerobics at a physical therapy place (5 classes/hours per week). I love doing that, I actually get paid (not much) to exercise! I also watch a couple of my friends kids after school. All in all, I have it pretty easy.

I'm a part-time film maker and full-time web designer and an ever so slight part-time musician. It's so hard to get a break in the film industry these days. Look for me at Sundance this year, though! We have a film called "The Light."

I am a 911 Communications Specialist which is a fancy title for a 911 Emergency Medical Dispatcher. I've been doing it for 7 years now. I work for a large Communications Center that dispatches for 9 Fire Departments across 3 counties near Kansas City, Missouri. I started when I was 17 y/o. I was also an Emergency Medical Technician and Firefighter for 5 years. I love my job although it is not an easy one - lots of people can't hand it and end up burned out quickly, but I had a calling for it and here I am! I've been working night shifts for 7 years now also so I cruise these forums all night long during slow times at work. I am looking to move to a day shift when the opportunity presents itself. I work long 12 hour shifts. 911 call - gotta go!

I'm an IT consultant. Computers and obesity seem to go hand-in-hand, sometimes.

Still, it could be worse, I could work for a chocolate factory, or maybe I could be a professional pizza Taster.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
