Thanks for the encouragement...;-)

Dear Maureen, Welcome to the board, you will really enjoy it, I do. I am sorry that you had such a hard time. I hope the rest of the time is great for you. You will get your strengh back and then you will be so glad that you had this done. I am thrilled with my progress so far it has changed my life. I have lost 57 so far and am looking forward to many more pounds coming off. I was helping my sister move this weekend and I carried some free weights out to the moving van that weighed 32 lbs and I couldnt believe how heavy they were, no wonder I had a hard time climbing stairs before my surgery. You will see and feel the difference as you get your strengh back. Good luck and welcome again. Lynn
