Hi, I have joined a health fund and I am waiting till 1 july 11 to have the sleeve. I am counting the days as I have been very unhappy with my weight and I have plantar faciatus which is very painfull feet, so I need to lose some weight hopefully to reduce the pain. I have been in so much pain and keep eating so I need the help from the sleeve. The next 6 months cant come soon enough. So it is great to have the support from these sites to get me through.

your time will come

i don't know if i'm replying the right way. this is my first time to write to anyone on here...i just wanted to give u some words of encouragement. i worked and waited for almost 2 years for my surgury. your time will go by quickly just hang in there. and i also thought it was funny that you are having your surgury on July 1st. that will be my 2 year anniversary of my surgury!! you picked a good date..LOL. good luck with everything and focus on all the good that you will soon have. i was falling apart more and more by the day it seemed before i had my surgury and now nothing can stop me!! you will be soooooo happy when u drop that weight!! keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

WELCOME!


What is that?
I've been suffering pain in my feet & have been wondering if its due to my weight?

I've never heard of it before...?

EDIT:
Thank you for posting this.
I just googled it & it completely sounds like what I'm suffering from.
It hurts right now actually!
This morning I even put on Ben Gay before putting my shoes on.
But it don't really help much.

Once again thank you...
Just another thing that might get better after my WLS.

Sally,
Just be patient and have faith. Time will go by so quickly you won't even notice. Surgery changes your life completely, for the better, you will feel healthier, with more energy and you will become a happier person, trust me on this

[sally73]

Thank you all for your lovely replies. These sites are the best as everyone knows what you are going through. I saw a Dr and nurse yesterday who told me that weight loss surgery is so drastic and you can do it yourself, very easy to say as they probably have never had this battle of losing weight and regaining faster and more and more.

That's why for the most part I don't tell people my plans..
Most skinny people say to me "Dude! You don't need that just exercise more & watch what you eat & bla bla bla.... Like I've never thought of that or ever tried a bazillion diets!!!

Sometimes I hate skinny people.

[Susie]

you know what I hate abut Skinny people ... is when they say do I look fat in thease jeans , I just want to be as rude as possbile and say why I think you do Ha ha .... I hate it when I am judged when they do not have a clue I myself have nt always been over weight and it has taught me few lessons , and dissapointed in many friends but hey things will change in the morning and i promaise never as some one if I look fat in my jeans : )

People sometimes do not think before they speak! I weighted around 115-120 most of my young adult life. I then was put on steroids for 10 years and plumped up and added over 100 lbs. Yes friends did treat me different, co-workers ect.. I had a Dr. I was scrubed in a case with tell me I did not need to break for lunch , I had enough fat on me to last weeks without eating ! Needless to say, I turned him into peer review!!! My close friends and family have Never left my side! My husband has been so supportive, he said he would love me no matter what I did or dont do. I have a very nice looking husband and I cant wait till he get his nice looking wife back

Plantar Fasciatis is VERY painful, and it can result from other reasons such as high arches in your foot or from flat feet. But being overweight definitely adds to the pain! I had my plantar fasciatis treated with cortesone shots in my heel and with orthotics in my shoes years ago, but never lost the weight. Have had high blood pressure for years. Recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Have tried every diet and exercise plan, including phentermine, and always gained the weight back. So after a couple months of sleeping with the "Darth Vader" mask (C-Pap machine) for my sleep apnea, I finally decided to have the sleeve surgery. Just got home from the hospital yesterday, and am adjusting to my new life...hoping to resolve these issues and gain a beautiful new body as a bonus! Best of luck to you...all of you!

I had mouled orthotics made for me about 1 and half years ago which helped in the beginning but I have gained more weight now and the pain is now sometimes unbearable. i have thought about cortesone but was slightly scared.

Hi there Sally and everyone, I too had to wait till my health fund kicked in, for 12 months. I can't believe I am answering this question as not that long ago I was asking it myself.
I had 12 months to go and now let me tell you, it has gone like lightning, and I am ready for the 9th Feb. Read everything you get your hands on, stay with us and learn from our "family' because before you know it, you will only be weeks away like me.
help I got me some butterflies, moths, fighter jets, and all sorts of anxiety happening, but it's all good!!!!!!!!!!! I love this Forum of ours.
