Tell Me About Your Feet After Losing Weight



Recommended Posts

I too have plantar facitis, wear orthdotics ($400+), $150 New Balance shoes on my podiatrist advice. I am hoping as I lose more I will no longer need my podiatrist. I had been having shots in my right knee for over a year and cartilage scraped out of the left. My band will put off knee replacement for many years. My sister has had both replaced. My back hurts far less than it did. I can walk much further than I have in years. Oh yes, now when I walk up to a plate glass door, I look straight at my reflection instead of my feet. Life will only get better.

YES!!!! I teach first grade and an on my feet all day. My feet used to KILLLLLLLL me 90lbs ago, and my back and my knees too. I would get out of bed in the morning and hobble around, it was one of my deciding factors that I was just way too fat and I needed to do something. Now I have no problems at all. I work out, stand all day and still have energy for my family after work. It's wonderful!!! AND I can wear cute shoes while doing it all! wink.gif

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
