    roadman1122 got a reaction from summerseeker in 69 yrs old and unsure..   
    i agree, I'm 64 and the surgery was life changing, i now have low blood pressure, no more back pain, i got a fit bit, started walking 3000 steps per day, now I'm up to 12000. i know long take Aleve, arthritis pain almost gone.
    it was game changing for me, and everyone around me has noticed my energy levels increased..
    I wish i had done it sooner,
    Good Luck

    well I started this journey with spinal stenosis, at 341 pounds, my back hurt so much, i thought i was going to have to retire, i could only walk about one hundred yards, then i hurt so bad, i would need to sit down, my feet were swelling, i was taking all kinds of medicine,

    now, I only take flowmax, older male guy drugs, and that's it, My arthritis is almost gone, I can walk two miles no problem, blood pressure good, feet don't hurt.
    now I'm down to 255, my weight loss has slowed, but now wearing XL shirts not 3 and 4 Xl, pants size 48 to size 40. if My skin was removed, I would be a 38 waist

    here is me now, I am full of life again

    well, it’s been one week,
    I went to my Back doctor, because I had spinal stenosis in the lower back for about three years,
    Tried having surgery, but I couldn’t because when I went into the operating room, when they flipped me over, I stopped breathing, so the operation was canceled,

    All I could do was walk about 100 feet then my back would hurt so bad, I would halve to sit down, I also couldn’t stand longer than 10 minutes at a time. Because of the pain,
    I also had arthritis pain in my knees, hips lower and upper back, I was a mess.
    Had my surgery, and yes it hurt, and yes, I had to change,
    I went to my back doctor, and he said I lost 24 pounds. I said wow.
    The first thing I noticed was my ankles, they weren’t swollen anymore. They looked kind of skinny,
    My back pain stated to go away, my arthritis pain went away,
    I showered yesterday and dropped my sock and I just reached down and picked it up, haven’t done that in a while. Rechecked today and yes, I have no problem picking up items off the floor.
    Went to the store, and walked around the whole time, feet are tired, but my back doesn’t hurt at all.
    After all this after one week, what’s to come in the future.
