<< Hi , yes I do feel great! I actually had no back pain from walking

at 1 week post-op. I no longer need to use a shopping cart in the

grocery store to lean on. I can walk, and do everyday!. Your BMI is

only 36 and you are pre-op??

Jill: I've noticed a marked decrease in back pain (and joint pain!) when I

walk now. I was always a walker and did at least a mile or two at a time but

I did suffer from nasty sciatica and joint pain.

I even lugged at least 10 bags of heavy groceries up to the second floor

without getting winded (this was after a 2 mile jaunt in the hot sun with a

double stroller)! By no means am I triathalon material (although I've

noticed a few people doing marathons and stuff - you go girls!!! LOL), but I

sure have noticed a marked difference in my energy level and stamina.

Ain't life grand???

all the best,
