I am a 57 yo f with chronic back pain, knee issues and fibromyalgia. I have had a total of 11 surgical procedures since I was 30 and on pain Meds everyday....I am scheduled for 1/30 & am very excited! I started this process 8/12/16 @ 230lbs ----I have lost 30 lbs since - I have 60 more to go ! Already my sleep apnea is better , diabetes which was around the corner for me is now hopefully in my rear view mirror!
Since August, when I started with just walking , I worked up to 2 miles a day , I now go to the gym 3-4 x per week
I hope to eventually discontinue pain meds or at the very least diminish dosage!
