Here's a copy of her post.. please send her a warm welcome!

Hello Everyone!  I am a newbie here! I guess you can say I am dragging my feet about making my introductions to the group, but, better late than never!  I am coming to you from Colorado, 37 years old, mother of 2 teenager boys and a teenage step-daughter that I love very much.  Proud daughter of a Vietnam Vet!  I am a collector and huge fan of the frog, which one can tell by my screen name.
I am scheduled to have my RNY on August 26th in Denver at Swedish Medical Center.  The long wait is just about over.  I have been fighting the insurance companies for 10 years trying to get the surgery.  This was going to be my last battle with the all mighty insurance gods.  I have had a battle with my weight as long as I can remember.  My Mom started putting me on diets back at the tender age of 5!  And it has been a jiant yo-yo ride since then.  Now I am ready to get off that nasty ride!  Though my Mom is not here to see me win my battle with my weight, she will be my guardian angel durning my surgery.
I will have my trusty lap top with me during my stay in the hospital to give updates, and my friend can post updates for me during my stay.
