Hello,

My name is Jennifer. I am 35 yrs. old. i have 2 daughters, one 7 and one who just turned 13 months. I am overweight..serverly!

I weigh 315 lbs. I have always been fat. I have met with the dr. 2x and i am just waiting for a surgery date. I really don't know if i am making the correct decision to be banded vs. the bypass.

I am having a difficult time and really haven't followed the pre surgical diet yet. I need to start with a gym early in the morning. Anyone else in my shoes? I never thought i would be here! ever. but i am tired of struggling for everything i deciede to put into my mouth and lose hardly any weight. Can someone give me some advice. Was it hard getting started? or did you really wait to get started after you were banded? I am getting really scared about the restrictions on everything

please help!

Ditto's to what everyone said.... just another Jersey person checking in
