Off Topic: Can I share my happiness?
This isn't about my sleeve surgery or weight loss (although it might have been influenced by it), but I want to share my good news with my OH friends.
Back in May, right around the time I joined OH and started pursuing my VSG, I was laid off by the bank I worked for since 1984. I was given a generous severance package, so I had some time to regroup, but I am a single parent with a mortgage, so that always weighed on my mind. Anyway, I've been concentrating on my health issues (first WLS & now back surgery), with the intentions of starting a serious job search next month.
Well, yesterday I got a call from the president of another bank, a small local bank, who has worked with me in the past and heard thru the grapevine that I was laid off. He asked if I was looking for work. Long story short, I got a job! I start Monday! And it sounds like a job that I'm going to like much better than the old one; it's more tailored to me, because it's a techy position (internet banking in particular).
Might be considered an NSV. I mean maybe my renewed self-confidence, not to mention my more professional clothing and appearance at a BMI of 31 instead of 42, helped me ace the interview?

It's better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you're not. 
What wonderful news Crystal!!!! Congratulations!
