Question:
WLS date was 5/7/2001 I had lost 85 lbs at 6 month check but not losing now

It is now about a year exactly ad I have lost a total of 135 lbs. I weighed 385. I have not been active due to back pain. Is there hope I can lose more. I feel like I am failing.I am very discouraged and know my Dr will not be happy.    — Amy D. (posted on April 30, 2002)

Amy, failing? 135 pounds in 1 year is great! Maybe you're not where you thought you'd be, but that's really wonderful. I would imagine that adding any type of exercise would definitely help you. If your back hurts too much to walk, how about water aerobics? The thought of getting in a swimsuit makes me shudder, but it's supposed to be really easy on your back/joints, so maybe that will help. Best of luck to you!
