Does anyone have a lumbar spondolysthesis and has loosing helped?

I had an open RNY on 9/9/02. I have lost 50 lbs as of today! One of my main reasons was to try and prevent lumbar fusion for an L3-L4 Spondolysthesis with herniations in the discs. Has anyone had lower back problems that were helped by loosing weight so they didn't have to have the surgery. I was hoping 50 lbs would do it although I have 60 lbs to go to goal. Any encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cindy G
