My weight didn't balloon until menopause.  Depression and lack of motivation, caring for an ailing grandmother and my husband having a heart attack compounded to sabotage me.  Finally, early this year I got the depression under control and began losing weight on my own and taking daily walks.  Everything was going great until my knees started hurting.  To be proactive I made a doctor appointment.  Long story short...both knees are bone on bone.  My doc sent me to  an orthopedic surgeon and he said he couldn't fix my knees unless I lost a considerable amount of weight... like 100 pounds!  He mentioned bariatric surgery and I thought no way!  Well, my knees continued to get worse and worse and now 6 months later I can barely walk.  I am scheduled for gastric bypass surgery 9/12/2017.....wish me luck....I've lost 30 pounds pre op🤗
