I'm at the highest weight ever for me and I feel as if I angling to break my ankles I'm so heavy. I also feel that if I don't have surgery soon I'm going to become crippled. Anyone else feel this way?

When we start feeling like that is when we start looking for answers....RNY is one of them. Have you started that journey with a surgeon? You're in the right place for info.

Yes in fact I go next week to a seminar. I had back surgery and I cannot exercise like I should.

You're not alone. I hurt my knees in February and they haven't healed because of my weight. I had shots and PT but in reality my weight has done me in. I try and workout but pain is all I get. However, I have found that being in the Water helps. I still hurt but I need to start something. Had my seminar last week and exercise seems to be key. I know I'll be in pain for a while but I try to remember why I'm doing this and know that in the end the pain will be no more. When you meet with your surgeon and nutritionist you'll figure out what will work.

I hope so, it's just so frustrating I have been dealing with the problem with pain for two years and I'm tired of it.

I felt the same a year ago & started having knee problems as well. I had RNY 10 weeks ago and I haven't taken any medication for my knee ever since. It's getting much better with every pound off. I lost 60 lbs and still have 120 to lose. I also work out at the gym 4 days a week & feel great

No but I did have a knee issue & when the weight came off so did the knee problem.

I know that it can be frustrating and I'm right there with you. Waking up this morning I looked like I didn't have knees because they were locked and I was in pain.

Keep the faith and we all are with you during this time

Thanks for the words of encouragement. It's very thoughtful of u.

Well last night I fell. Now I really know what heavy feels like and it knocked the wind out of me. A bit scary but reality isn't always so nice to you. My journey awaits and I'm just blessed its a lot sooner than later.
