I can not believe it has been 6 months already post op. I remember the days of sucking down chicken broth, slurping sugar free gelatin and being hangry! lol
Now I can say that I am completely adapted to my new way of life with my sleeve. Best decision I made in my life for countless reasons.
I am down 90 pounds now but that has been with limited exercise due to having severe osteoarthritis in both hips, just diagnosed 2 weeks ago because I finally could fit into an MRI machine..
Now the fingers crossed point of my note.
Saw a hip specialist yesterday and although eventually I will need to get both hips replaced we are going to try injections. Did my left hip yesterday and if it takes will do the right. Feels a bit better already and I was told that I will really know after about 48 hours.
God, I hope this works for short term relief so that I can exercise more as I know this will accelerate my weight loss.
If I could get back on the golf course I will probably cry. I used to be part of an every Saturday morning group and boy did we have fun. I want those days back desperately.
Wish me luck!
And I wish everyone else the best on their journeys as well!!
Regards,
Tommy
