Hi IM tall too 5"7 210, high bp high cholesterol but really plagued by orthopedic issues.2 shot knees and debilitating foot problems plantar fasciitis etc. Scheduled for surgery June 9th in Mexico for WLS haven't shared with anyone except one co worker and my husband. My Dr is hounding me to cast my affected foot to relieve the tendonitis which is undelievably painful.How can put him off,he'll think I'm crazy for having WLS but my tickets are unrefundable. If I could cast my foot first I would,came home from work today in tears with foot pain. Any ideas to how long I have to wait post op to deal with this foot? DVT issues etc..
