Diana,
I had my surgery on July 9, 2001, and have lost 144 pounds, and would not change anything for the world. This has been the very best thing I have ever done. Like you I also had arthritis in my legs and feet, could not walk out to the mail box without being in pain. Today I walk 3 miles 3 times a week with no problems. Hope all goes well with you and your little one. good Luck,
Valerie Meadows

My WLS was on July 27, 2001. I had lost a total of 130lbs., but i have recently gained a few pounds back. It's okay because it is exactly what I had planned...
My first child is due on October 26, 2003! I had the surgery because I wanted to be able to have a healthy, happy pregnancy and baby. All has gone well. I used to suffer from severe arthritis, but since dropping the weight, my condition has greatly improved. Now that I am pregnant, it is in total remission!
The surgery was the first step in fulfilling the dream of a lifetime. If you are considering having the surgery or getting pregnant, I recommed WLS first!
Topic: My anniversary date is Ju...
My anniversary date is July 5th, 2001. I can't believe it has been two years. I can't believe I have maintained the same weight for almost one year. Finally, one year without gaining weight. Life is great. I continue to exercise. Yes, those food demons still exist but I am handling them better. If I make bad choices one day, I try to do better the next day. I continue to weigh every Sunday as instructed by my surgeon, if I am up a few pounds, diet, diet, diet, exercise, exercise, exercise until those pounds are off. Gastric bypass surgery has been a lifesaver for me and I still consider it one of my better life decisions.
