YOU!!! You are one of the main reasons I'm here where I'm at today!! You encouraged me when I thought I had nothing left!! When I still couldn't walk because of much pain I was in even after surgery because of my sciatica. You pushed me through and you brightened every day after surgery!!! I love you so much Jen!! With my whole heart and I couldn't have done this without you!!! I am proud of US!!! We did it!!!

Congrats on your weight loss and choosing this journey!

I had back surgery in December. Herniated disc pushing on sciatic nerve between L4 L5 S1. I am 495 lbs and a truck driving instructor at the time. That pain is nothing I wish on anyone. They never offered weight loss surgery as the option. I was already working on approval for it and they still said I needed back surgery. They said I had "the largest herniated did they have ever seen" go big or go home right lol. Back surgery did me well but I am getting sleeved in about a month. I'm glad that surgery worked for you for the back.
