I think this is amazing. Three weeks after the sleeve, I realized my terrible foot pain was gone, with about a 25-lb. weight loss. Two years ago this pain began in my feet, and at first I thought it was arthritis in my feet, buying expensive foot creams that did not work. I just suffered at night. Finally saw an ad on tv about Lyrica and neuropathy, and my doctor prescribed it. After a month I had several blistering ugly reactions on my toes, and had to come off the med. Then 3 months ago I was prescribed Metformin for diabetes. Now I am off Metformin, hope I never have to take insulin (my husband has had diabetes 35 years), and no neuropathy. I am one happy woman. I can shop again (everyday for a few hours) knowing I won't be in agony at night.

How wonderful this Sleeve Surgery is. Congrats on your Surgery and the healing from the Neuropathy pain.

My foot itself doesn't hurt but my heels hurt, found out that i have heel spurs, which i didn't have a few years ago, since picking up all this weight my heels have gotten worse, I tried pills, all types of things for the foot and heel but nothing works, I am hoping and praying that after I have my surgery and get alot of this weight off, my heels will go back to not hurting when I walk. December 30th isn't to far away and i'm anxious for my journey to begin!!!!

I think there are so many health benefits for all of us ahead. I am so happy!

Thank you so much for posting this. I have peripheral neuropathy in my hands and feet. It started a few months ago and I have always been convinced it is weight related. This gives me hope !! - good luck to you

Thanks, and to you! I am really happy about this! Hoping it helps you, God Bless!

Loving gram, I had a bone spur in the back of my heal for years and it finally rubbed a hole in my Achilles' tendon. I had to have surgery and could put no weight on it for 6 weeks. I was in a wheel chair because of my weight, could not walk on crutches. I made it thru that and it wasn't long after the other heel started hurting. Guess what another heel spur. I cried because I did not want to go thru all this again. Then I had this great sleeve surgery and since losing 92 lbs it does not hurt anymore. I don't even know I have it. So there is hope for your pain also.
