To Pam - Thank you for replying!

Hi Pam! Thanks for your welcome greeting! I didn't realized that any

weight I lose now does not count towards the 10% you are required to

lose. I guess I can wait until orientation (if I get accepted into

the program). But given the pain I have on my knees, losing some

weight now may take some of the pain away. My doctor prescribed some

Motrin 600 for the pain and I'm due to begin physical therapy soon. I

hope all that helps me deal w/ the pain for now.

Please tell me more about your journey! I'm curious, how much weight

have you lost? and are you now used to your new stomach/new diet?

what is the hardest part about sticking w/ the post-op program? where

there any complications after the surgery? was it painful at any time?
