Hi. I'm a 46/divorced/female from Iowa (Quad-Cities). I am a Certified Dialysis Nurse and am evening charge nurse where I work. I love dialysis nursing but hate the ramifications of my hours.

I've been thinking about bariatric surgery but am on the fence with this one. I guess we're all looking for that quick fix, eh?
