Hi. I'm a 45 yr old mom, wife, RN and grad student. I have always been overweight and my health was starting to be affected. I also think I do not get the same respect in my career as thin nurses do. After trying many diets, I considered lap band due to its risk profile as compared to gastric bypass. I had my surgery this week and I am hoping for the best. I know I'll never be skinny but healthy is my goal!
