Registered Nurse for over 30 year, worked everywhere from the ER to the OR to homecare and hospice. Currently I'm an informatics nurse and the director of IT for a large homecare and hospice corporation. I always identify first as a nurse, and believe the work I do contributes to the care of many patients, as well as improves the work lives of the clinicians providing that care.

I am a Patient Financial Services Representative. That title has nothing to do with what I actually do.

I obtain benefits, pre-authorizations, & pre-determinations for same day, next day, & future procedures done at our hospital. I am actually on the inpatient team & my sub-group is Plastics/Bariatric.

I love my job. I work at one of the top 50 hospitals in the USA.

Retired CNA,CHHA,PBT.... Those of us in health care tend to put ourselves LAST 99.99% of the time because that's all we do is take care of others. Now I'm a full time mommy!

I can't believe there's so many nurses! It does make sense that the majority on here spend their time and energy taking care of others. What a great topic!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
