Topic: RE: Hi Everyone!
My new fr...
I wanted to thank you for your warm welcome! Tomorrow I see my surgeon and hope he will lift restrictions. Then I plan to start setting free my inner Amazon who's being held hostage by a couch potato!
Actually, at present my biggest challenges are various hamstring/knee/ankle injuries which have been aggravated in my efforts to resume exercising. But I've decided to address these problems head-on and try physical therapy again with a group specializing in sports injuries. I will do whatever it takes to avoid the chronic injury/immobility cycle which I barely escaped thanks to WLS. Thank you for your support!

Yes, she is good now, caught it before perm. damage was done. We know two people personally that do have perm damage, one ended in a coma and a wheelchair for a year. Thiamin deficiency can lead to Berrie-Berrie (Spelling?) rare nowdays but we are at risk. Your doc will figure it out.

Welcome, and I would love to chat with you some time. I am waiting to get my money together to have the lap band and I would like to know how you are doing and if you feel you have any restrictions with having the port and all.
Thanks Tammy

Hey Jennifer:
Thanks for posting. It's a great idea to call a sports dr.
I hope your back injury doesn't give you too much trouble.

Hey Val...
Thanks for the post. It's there constantly now....even when I wake up in the morning it's still numb. It feels cold at times and feels also like needles are sticking in me. There isn't any swelling that I can see on that leg, but your post brought up a new worrie. I have pain in my right calf. I thought it was a charley horse type thing....but now i'm a bit worried about the blood clot issue..I didn't think of that.
I'll try to find another Dr. and get in tomorrow. Thanks for all the info.
Your the best!!!!
Ohhhh also....what was the vote? Do you get to keep the programs or not?

Welcome to a great board. Everyone here is very supportive and just a lot of fun!
