Yet another reason why RNY is good for me

 so I went to the doctors today to find out what is wrong with my right knee.  About 4 months ago it started to give me a really hard time and I can't, literally can't, walk up and down stairs.... so I finally went to have it checked.   I had x-rays and the doctor came in to tell me a long word that I can not remember but basically the patella (knee cap) is not connected properly to the rest of my leg.  So the reason for this.... I"M FAT!   ROFL...... 

He goes onto say the best treatment for this is gastric by-pass surgery..... so I tell him I just had it done and he said well that's the first step..    Next step is to go for physical therapy to strengthen my quad muscles and I should be good.    He said most people wait too long to get this fixed and end up needing a knee replacement. 

Go me! 

Don't you love being smarter than the doctor lol.....Good luck with the knee and with your weightloss

Good luck with your knee.
