Lisa821 29 Posted April 26, 2012 OMG! I can't believe I'm actually down 70lbs and it will be six months on 5/2/12. This is so awesome! I love that I can cross my legs without having my lower legs go numb. LOL! My thighs don't touch when I walk and I had to buy all new clothes. I feel like a million dollars. To wake up every morning without back pain is the absolute best thing I have gotten from this surgery. No more pain pills, no more bulging discs and no heel pain at the end of the work day! I will post pics when I find the time. Thank you all for posting. Your words have helped through the weird times, the frustrating times and the happiest times. Stay cool! 4 TexasDiva, 2BThinAlways, Julie76 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malyss 31 Posted April 26, 2012 Lisa, congratulations! Your improvements are absolutely wonderful and it sounds as though your quality of life has greatly improved! I have scoliosis and am starting to enjoy the benefits of having less weight on my spine. It is definitely great to be in less pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malyss 31 Posted April 26, 2012 Lissa - Yes, it is. Thank you. I went and had my hair chopped off last Thursday morning. It's a blast from my past hair styles, but it's a good, easy summer haircut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lisa821 29 Posted April 26, 2012 Thanks everyone!! Isn't great to go get your hair done and pamper ourselves. I didn't do much of that before, just didn't even like the idea.
