I plan on have the surgery within the next couple of months. I am waiting on my insurance to send the dr an approval letter and then i have to go through all the preop tests. i cant wait to have this done. i was wondering what some of you could tell me about your surgeries and what problems ya'll might have had. How long were ya'll out of work? i am so tired of being overweight and not getting any dates or having people not wanting to go out with me because i am heavy. they dont get to know me for me. but all ya'll probably already know this. well im glad to be in this group and i cant wait to get to know yall. keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Keri, HI!!!!!, and welcome to the group!!!!!! My name is Sherri, and I am post-op as of Sept. 17th, 2003. So far, I lost 76.5 lbs-30 of which were pre-op. I did not have any real complications, except I did have one poke hole that got infected, my surgery was done laproscopically. I had to have the wound packed for 2 weeks-and it was a small wound. I am very glad that I had the surgery done.....I already had 1 knee replacement, and am facing the other one. I was out of work for 6 weeks, whick is what my doc recommends for a scope. Hope this helps? Please feel free to email me privately if you wish...sherri hi i am new to the group Hi my name is keri, i live in memphis, tn,i am 24years old, i am 5'6 " and 265 lbs.
