I Got The Job! I Got The Job!

Careers If you had a gastric bypass, Lap Band, or other WLS, share the effects that it had on you in the workplace. How does it compare to before surgery?

Arrow I Got The Job!
Yay me! Even after all the extra medical stuff I had to submit (due to the wls) I got cleared and got the call today! I'll be starting my new CBP job on Oct. 6th and leaving to the academy on Nov. 4th. Boy, am I nervous! But excited as well.

Thanks you guys! Now, I gotta see if I make it through the academy or if I like the job for that matter . My husband works overtime a lot so that means I'd be too...we'll see how this works out for me, won't know unless I give it a try.

-Going from a size 24 down to a size 6/8 (depending on the store) is the greatest accomplishment I have ever made.
-The best compliment is the one when someone you have known for years and years does not recognize you after not seeing you for a few months.
