d76jp67 2 Posted December 18, 2010 Good evening I am d76jp67 and I am looking forward to my surgery. I am having mine on 12.23.10 I know it is crazy doing this right before Christmas but I don't care the pain in my knees is worse than not being able to eat Christmas dinner. I have arthritis in my right knee and have had the left knee replaced. I don't want to replace the right one so losing weight is my only alternative. I hope the support here will be helpful once I have my surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern Leo 0 Posted December 18, 2010 I know what you mean about the knees! I have had a scope in right one and needed some trimming on the miniscus ect. It has arthritis too. I have sore feet and a bad back so this will help my health too. Glad you're looking forward to the surgery, so am I. I'm just waiting to hear when it will be.. good luck!

d76jp67 2 Posted December 19, 2012 It has been a while since I posted and I have had a set back. My band slipped off and it made me really sick and now it will not be put back on until February. I was devastated when Dr. G told me I would have to wait until February. So I have had a normal size tummy since Nov. 20. 2012 but I still eat as though my band is fill. Dr. G also told me to begin working out so I hired a Personal Trainer and she has been working with me to make sure I don't gain. So far I am down two pounds and counting. I will be lighter by the time I weigh in on January 14, 2012. I am determined not to gain any weight in spite of the holidays. d76jp67 1 babykins529 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
