Leg pain/numbing - will it go away?

Hi there, I'm 10 days away from my surgery (lap rny) and I have gained about 15 lbs since my consult in December. :( I'm done beating myself up over that and my surgeon will still be performing surgery via lap. It seems like these last few lbs are the 'straw that broke the camel's back'. My legs have been hurting and getting numb for the last year but usually after a couple hours on my feet. NOW the aching feelings are there constantly - an hour on my feet is killing me. Amplified by being off of Advil for my surgery. I keep having these fears that I have worn out my legs or veins or something. Maybe I'm being paranoidd but I don't want to sully my recovery with negative feelings Can others who have had pre-op leg pains please share their stories? How long (how much weight loss) before you started to have more mobility? thanks
