Howdy, howdy! Intro I guess...I'm upbeat and love to laugh, mostly at myself. I've been overweight my whole life and I have just had enough of yo-yo'g and beating myself up. If not now, when? I gained weight during the years I gave birth to my children, and when I quit smoking a couple of decades ago that certainly didn't help...although a few more pounds was a small price to pay to quit. I've tried so many things over the years, and I have just had it with the up and down. One of my small goals once I get post surgery is to get back to riding a bicycle - I used to love to bike commute, and I have a little dream of getting a 'real' road bike and starting to build up some distance. That will be my gift to myself once I get down in weight just enough that I don't have to worry about special frames/wheels etc. I'm having  RNY on August 2nd . My surgeon is Blair Rowitz from Carle Physician Group in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and thus far they have been wonderful.
