Gary and Becky
Gary and I  met online 6  years ago in a chat room named Texas_Porch on MSN servers. We became best friends,  fell in love and married Oct 14, 2000.  We live in Oxnard California and enjoy the agriculture, clean air and the beautiful beach area.
We have started our quest to regain our health so we might share many happy years in the future. We started researching RNY (Rouex Y Gastric Bypass) fall 2001 after it was suggested by our PCP. Both Gary and I  have health problems that have been complications to our weight. Both of us have been fat since childhood and we have tried many diets. We are both in our 40's and feel like this is the time before we have more health problems.

OUR JOURNEY BEGINS.........
