I am so frustrated! I had surgery last May to repair a ruptured tendon in my foot, and was just cleared last week to wear two shoes and begin P/T. I thought I would be good to go for my WLS procedure, but Nooooo! I was just diagnosed with 'osteonecrosis' in the same leg as the foot surgery. (Apparently, I did some damage to my knee by wearing a cast/boot all summer, and it has caused part of the bone to die. EW!) Anyway, since I have to stay off my feet for the next 12--yes, TWELVE!!--weeks, I had to put a brake on all plans for my sleeve. The good news is, I've already lost 24 lbs, on my own, but the bad news is now I will have to begin all over again once I am cleared from this leg issue. I hope I can keep losing on my own, and that I won't need knee replacement, but I can't seem to get beyond the disappointment of not being able to do this procedure for me. >sigh!< I guess I should be glad we discovered this now, so I can be healthier going forward, but DAGNABBIT! I was totally ready to follow through. I'll keep reading these boards, and celebrating your victories until it's my turn. Keep up the Great Work, Losers!!!

That stinks about the surgery, but please take care. 12 weeks! I'd go stir crazy.
