How big are you? Yes, there is a lower weight limit on road bikes than on mountain bikes in general.
I was once very obese. I had to lose weight even to ride a MTB. I tried drop bar bikes about 100 lbs later and at first, they seemed incredibly awkward. As my flexibility increased and my belly decreased, Drob bars (Ram horn) became my favorite.
