  1. Ashamed of WLS?

    tracyf1 replied to Less of Leslie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hi, I have been researching WLS for about 3 years. I am an ICU nurse and now that the Sleeve is available, I plan to go through with it. My BMI is just slightly above 40, but my knees are shot. I take Celebrex every day to help with the knee pain. I won't have knee surgery until I lost the weight. How are your knees after the WLS? Are you able to take any meds post sleeve for arthritic pain? I am very afraid that I will have the surgery and then without the Celebrex, I won't be able to walk. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
