Don't most legitimate psychologists and relationship experts say that couples should be best friends?  I don't have a horse in any race and am just reading this board, sifting through the posts and trying to get a feel for who's credible and who isn't.  Your post just isn't passing the sniff test and is borderline bizarre, making me wonder how your ex could possibly help a stranger if you're an example of what happens when he spends extended time with someone. 

in the face and still, I repeat still, deals with the emotional issues that caused her to overeat in the first place.  I am no skinny Minnie, but I know eating is a way to feed an inner problem that needs comfort.  I am not obese, so I can't speak of what that feels like either, but even with a lap band you have to diet and exercise.  A mental assessment is also a prerequisite.  If you can get the problem as to why you overeat and do not exercise and diet, then I think that would be better than having the surgery.

My friend does say she cannot eat everything she wants, but she still complains of the same emotional stresses that she had before the surgery, which tells me this is deep-seeded and not something that can be fixed by having surgery. 

The other thing to think about is as you get older how will this effect your body?  I think nature has a way of taking care of us even if we are obese.  Not all obese people have the same medical problems such as diabetes, arthritis, thyroid disorders, and shortness of breath.

Please think if you can about a way to try exercising first before having an extremely risky surgery that the outcome is not always positive. 

According to her, they have decreased her line rate twice because of QA errors, but they have never told her what the errors are and she has asked many times.  They are always calling and emailing and getting after her about the number of lines she does.  One day she will be 20 minutes late getting on the system and they call her.  The next day she might be 2 hours late and nothing.  She says she has NEVER EVER gotten a single QA feedback anything. It took them a year to cut her line rate the first time and complain about her work, but that was the first she had heard of it because again, no feedback in that time.  She also said she has had difficulties getting paid the line rate she was contracted to receive in the first place and after these cuts she has seen her checks reflect a larger cut than they said they would be making.  

I had called them one time when I really needed a job, even if it was short term to tie me over until I could get something better.  My friend had talked to them about me looking and they said great, have her call we need acute care MTs.  I called and was told they have no acute care accounts and have nothing to offer me.  They were also a bit rude when I spoke to them. 

I'm pretty sure my friend is going to work on the clinic account they advertised for.  It clearly states paid for spaces.

Maybe your friend should check with management.

Where did your pal go that was on your side?  Did she ditch you or what?    You finally had some support and she split.  Awww, too bad!  Oh wait, your pal told you to stop wasting your time, you agreed, but now you are telling us how much you could care less once again.  That's right, my mistake.   So, tell us again how much you don't care. 

tells me that she loves the job.  She says there is usually lots of work, except for the occasional holiday slowdowns that seems to be across the board for MTs.  She said that she never has a problem with getting her pay and she said that likes the fact there there are not a large number of emails coming at you and interrupting the workflow. 

the pay rate sounded a little on the low side to me (I'm thinking around 7 cents, 65 cpl), but she really didn't have a whole lot of experience when she started, either.  (We had worked together for about a year and I trained her as a new graduate before we both quit the company we were with.)  She really likes working for them; it seems like their trainers/QA people are really decent folks who give pretty good and fair feedback, which is something she really likes.

I do know they have benefits for both FT and PT people, which is pretty rare these days.
