of infections and being obese I can't get a Ortho surgeon to operate and

replace hip or knee. I'm stooped over a walker, move at a snails pace.

ALWAYS IN MUCH PAIN Lots of pain meds that are getting less and less

effective. Part of the solution is to loose weight. I can't move to

exercise, but can do pool. I'm working on that aspect.

Hi

Are you a candidate for bariatric stomach surgery? (stapling, banding etc)

At one point I was 70 pounds above my ideal weight, but got my weight

down to wear it should be by following " calories in, calories out. " I

didn't eat more food than I was actually burning in a day. A person

needs to be calorie conscious to succeed at this. Read labels for

calorie and fat count, stay away from stuff that won't fill you up, but

will fill you out etc.

If that's not something you think you can do, than bariatric tummy

surgery, might be the solution.

Hopefully Helpful

,

Doctors are not trained to refer to nutrisionist, but they are very effective in

assisting in weight loss.

I had to set goals and it will take awhile but it is worth a try. Bennie.
