Hi Sweetie!

I KNOW exactly what you mean about ending up where the people you help out are!! LOL!! I had to get out... I graduated from college with a Sociology degree in 2002 and thought I could conquer the worlds crap! I worked in a methadone clinic for five long years... there some people that I think I might have helped, but for the most part it was an uphill battle.... it was incredibly stressful! I think that is one of the reasons I gained a lot of my weight... I would see other girls come in and they would be "normal" weight and within a year, they would be so much bigger... I saw that happen more than once... Just make sure to take care of yourself... I think that we as caregivers are pouring ourselves into others that we forget about ourselves... I'm so glad that you got the lapband... you did that for you... You go girl!! :0) It sounds like you do have a stressful job and I kind of know where you are coming from... if you ever need to vent... and I'm sure you do, you can always talk/write to me! Hugs!
