there is no guarantee of anything but just think about it...your body will be carrying less weight, there will be less stress on your bones and joints, you will be able to exercise more which will probably help. Loosing weight will probably help a lot

Well, I have fibromyalgia and I usually have a fair amount of generalized pain, plus I have 3 pretty bad trigger points on my back. The generalized pain is greatly reduced but not gone, but my back hasn't hurt AT ALL since my surgery 13 days ago. Walking and exercising has been much easier, I'm less winded so less stressed. I hope you're able to get some relief, bellabeans. Good luck!

I was 268lbs and in so much pain. I was sleeved 11 months ago and pain is so much better. I did have right total knee in December, but the left, which is bone on bone, still needs to be done, but I notice a tremendous difference since losing 97lbs. Good luck

I'm down about 75lbs and everything is easier, no more little aches and pains when walking, or getting up or sitting down.

@bellabeans I can only tell you what I know is true ...

At my very heaviest ... I was 382 ... I was on some pretty hard pain medicine ( that cancer patients take ) ... I was getting injections in my knees every other month ... and STILL wanted to crawl in a hole and stay there ...

I went to see a doctor about knee replacements ... but he told me and I quote " I cannot do your surgery because there is too much mass ( meaning fat ) there to bend your legs properly. Either lose weight or buy a scooter "

That hurt me .. but he was honest .. so I couldn't fault him...the fault was all on me.

So I had sleeve 7/8/15 and I've lost 167lbs ... and have NEVER looked back ....

I'm OFF all the pain medication ... I take Tylenol for that ... I'm PROMISING you the relief is WORTH IT !!!!!

You've got this!

Blessings to you!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
