      So good to see all the nurses out there ready to make the change. As the natural nurturers we are, many times we suffer for it. Long hours, physical and mental stress. We eat the wrong things, too exh

    RN here. 33 years. Work for the Feds, so I have another 2 months of nutrition before my date. Good luck tomorrow. Keep us nurses informed! I will say a prayer to St Catherine (patron st of nurses) for you. Positive thoughts your way.

    Wow MamaT, 43 lbs is great! When were you sleeved? How long were you off work? Hopefully I'll get a surgery date towards the end of July.

    I am an RN with 39 years experience in different areas, mainly ER and Open Heart Surgery. Was sleeved on Feb 9, 2012 and am very glad that I did it. Have lost 59 pounds, and am currently stalled right at 200 lbs. Can't break into that onederland- which is driving me crazy. Anyway, love being a nurse, in spite of all of the hard work and long hours.

    I was out for 2 weeks- but if you dont have help with lifting then it has to be longer... I had very supportive coworkers that helped me out so I didn't have to lift for 6 wks
