Joint Replacement Surgery Success!

I have had chronic pain in my right hip due to osteo arthritis for 3-1/2 years. On April 21 I had a total hip replacement (3 weeks ago tomorrow) and I feel fantastic!! Without this surgery plus my WLS on 10/23/07 I would be a middle-aged obese wheel-chaired bound woman. Today I am 95 pounds lighter (5 pounds from goal) and nearly pain-free. If you are considering joint replacement surgery, I'd say do it as soon as possible. For myself, I had a long term plan to regain my health: 1) gain weight to qualify for my insurance company to pay for WLS 2) lose weight 3) have hip replacement 4) regain the quality of my life. There is hope for chronic pain and I'm happy to be at step 4!!

Hello Katherine,  I am glad that you feel great! Time to start living life to the fullest!!! yeah! Irene
