By way of introduction, my name is Jana & I live in the DFW area and am currently undergoing the approval process. I have been a RN for 38 years--18 years in Surgery & 18 years in Case Management & as a Manager for a major health plan carrier.

So feel free to jump on board!

Good Morning Ladies! My name is Desiree' and I am having my gastric sleeve surgery May22,2013 with Dr. A. Lopez and Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana Mexico. I have been a CNA/CMA/AUA through out my career. I am PLEASED to say that I received my "Acceptance letter" last Thursday for the Nursing program here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I have been a CNA for 23 years so, my time has " Finally" arrived! So happy about that and SUPER HAPPY about my soon approaching surgery date.

Hi Jana,

I have been an RN for 23 years, last 10 have been in Endoscopy in large hospital in Beaumont, Tx. I was sleeved Jan 24th of this year. Down 33 lbs so far! I feel so much better and am glad I had it done. I need to lose another 35 lbs to get to the 140's. wish you the best!
