Hi! Long time lurker, deciding it was time to de-lurk!
I've been on a rollercoaster of weight loss/gain my whole life. I'm on the road to recovery, so to speak. Thank goodness I don't have any health problems, other than my weight. Everything looks spot-on so far.

My wonderful doctor has set me up with the Wharton clinic, I can't post links yet so if you google it, it's easy to find!

I feel like all the darkness has lifted. I've been more motivated in weeks, then I have been in years! I'm most likely going to have RNY bypass, and although I'm nervous, I have educated myself with every blog, article and forum I could read for the past year.

So hello, I hope to make lots of new friends!

Good luck on your journey!

Good luck, retrogirl! I hope to see you around the boards.

Welcome, Glad to have you join us. My advice is to look for a Support group, Chat, or Challange to join; small groups make it easier to get connected. Most sub-forums have groups covering almost every need, find one that inspires or motivates you and just post to join.
