I have found lately that I have lost who I am. I know that I am a mother of 3 and that I have a wonderful husband, but for years when I looked at myself in a mirror I just seen a stocky women instead of what was really there. I have finally recognized that my weight has gotten so out of control that I'm unable to participate with my children. I have tried hundreds of diets and excercise programs. Don't get me wrong I've always noticed that I'm overweight, I just didn't realize how over weight. So I'm looking at all of my options. I've heard a lot of great things about Lap band and I'm attending a seminar at the end of the month. So I'm hear among other people like myself, looking for a friendship and a understanding of all of this. My name is Jamie and I'm 31 years old. I live in Illinois and I have the wonderful opportunity to be a stay at home mom.
