Yet another newbie here!

:happy: Hi all! I'm Lin Fields, I'm 61 years old and live in Watertown, NY with my husband Pat and our two English Springers, Will and Jayme. How very nice to meet you all! :flowerforyou:

I had bariatric lapband surgery in 2009 and since that time, I've only lost a total (up and down) of 12 pounds!! Obviously, this method of losing weight has not worked for me. I am now in the process of exploring having the bypass RNY surgery. I am fluffy like many of us, and at the grand old age of 61, I'd like to live the rest of my life and have someone - anyone - call me skinny just once! :laugh: Seriously, I am doing this for my health and to make me just generally FEEL better.

I'm sure like everyone of us, I've been carting this poundage around for a long time... there's a history in my family of obesity, and perhaps I'm fighting some unseen genetic thing. But, I plan to get rid of it come heck or high water...

Nice to meet you all -- I'd love to chat with you if you are going through the same thing!!

Oh, and as most of us are, I'm on Facebook and have a website... www.bearlovers.com
