Not really--the restriction on the stomach isn't that great in a

Nissen, but on the other hand, certain people don't need to know that

either!

You're welcome. I'm an RN myself and the fact that I had to fool my

co-workers really disturbs me. However, I've worked with most of these

people for the last 10 years. They have been hypercritical and

unsupportive in everything I've done, from my candle business to the

way I do CPR, even to the way I dealt with the death of my father

(1997) and the death of my best friend (2000). There's a limit to how

much I can take. I couldn't risk them demeaning me for this,

especially since most of them are also overweight! I'm trying to find

another job, but there just aren't that many here in NYC.
