  6. Im a night shifter labor nurse as well. Im so nervous to organize a routine while working nights and then off. It has really screwed me up. Ive been on nights for 13 yrs. I would love to get onto a day shift just for normalcy but hate the thought of working days. Love my night crew!

  11. Thank you. That helps! I know it will be different but I just dont want to be giving up things I still would like to enjoy doing.
  12. Thank you everyone! Now for another question. My husband and I have always enjoyed going out to dinner (go figure right) but we love to go and enjoy each other without kids. I know I will need a huge lifestyle diet change but will I be able to enjoy different foods at some point. Just lots of left overs? Seems so silly but I dont want to give up everything entirely.
  13. I am attending a seminar on Saturday to learn more on each of them. But I want to know what made you choose one over the other? And those that have been banded and are now having a revision to sleeve why? Cant make up my mind.
