I feel...
. They hurt pre-op, but they felt SOOOO much better until the past 2 weeks. The last few months I have had vericous veins throbing in my legs and the past 2 weeks my knees have been hurting. I went to the chiroprator and he said it was from the "extra" "weight" on my legs(I have always been bottom heavy" and now it's the extra skin. I go to my PCP today and not sure what she'll do since we can't take NSAIDS. I'm just frustrated as I thought WLS would help the knees! Thanks for letting me vent!

Ok, which pain relievers can't you take after surgery? I take Ibuprofin at least 2 times a day for all my aches and pains. I'm hoping after the weight is off I won't need that, but what if I still hurt? You can't take anything?

Bummer.......Would somekind of wraps help on the knee's?
Hey, do you work everyday? I still haven't made it up there yet, I was wondering once school starts if I could make a trip up there and meet you for coffee, etc? There is so many of you that I haven't met and would love to meet.........

Hey....maybe you can get plastics now because of the pain the lose skin is causing.
I had horrible knee pain before surgery too. I haven't had any since I have lost the weight. Hopefully it won't come back. As you know my legs are pretty small....not much extra skin there.
Have a wonderful day my dear friend!!
Love and Hugs, connie d
