Hi, Pam. I'm Jeanie, from Missouri. I am *cough* 49 and holding. I am married and childfree by choice. I worked as a Registered Nurse and then ended up being a Church Administrator in my last job. I'm on disability right now. I had the Duodenal Switch on February 12th of this year, and I'm stuck at -98 pounds lost. It feels like I'll never cross over that century mark. I'm glad the link to this forum works now, too. Jeanie
