Long time since I've been here I'm 3 1/2 years out
Yes at my heaviest I was 250. I have osteoarthritis and had high blood pressure. I had my left hip replaced 2 years ago, happy dance, cause I can, lol! Even though my right hip doesn't hurt I've been told that I will need it replaced eventually. Knees are a bit beat up to. I was the only girl out of 20 cousins and I did everything the boys did but not necessarily well. I broke something every year as a child. If DYFS had been around back then my parents would definitely have been visited! BUT I was just clumsy and my cousins were rough.
The doctors told me I would feel better if I lost weight however I was bone-on-bone for 5 years and could barely move. Hard to get and stay motivated when you are in a great amount of pain. Also, hard for the naturally skinny doctor (who used to forget to eat by the way) to relate to me at that time. Thank God for the VSG!
