Hello my name is Jaime. I am a 32 year old mother of 2 little boy's, 7 & 4. I have wanted to have WLS for the past 4 years. I got up the courage to speak to my PCM about it four years ago just to basically be shot down. I'm glad that I didn't have it then because I got pregnant with my second child. I'm now about 30 pounds heavier then I was then. I recently got up the courage again to speak to my PCM. I have met some great woman recently who have given me great info and refered me to this site. I am now starting the VERY long process of getting approved by my insurance (tricare). I will start the 3 month weight loss class (LEARN) in january. My focus right now is to get through this class and see where I am after this. I have never had luck in losing weight on my own, and I never keep it off.
My dream is to once again be a normal size. I want to shop in the regular section, I want to be able to buy a jacket that will zip up, I want to purchase a belt in the womans department instead of the men's. I want to be able to buy shoes that are not extra, extra wide width. I want to get on the floor and play a game with my kids without losing feeling in certain body parts... and without needing help to get back up again. I want to walk up the stairs in my house without wheezing. I want to bend over and pick something up without feeling dizzy. I want to ride a bike with my husband. I want this constant pain in my knees and back to go away. I want to do so many things that WLS will help me achieve.
