Hello Fellow Losers!

I am so nervous. I'm of course looking forward to carrying less weight and being visible again. I have not been exactly dieting, but been working out like a fiend. I lost 36 lbs from a little bit of portion control and working out 4 days a week. I so look forward to the benefits that MAY come with weight loss.

My questions: Has anyone experienced relief from Migraines? I read there is a 57% chance that the WLS can help. Also inflammation I have horrible arthritis in my left wrist and tennis elbow from Years of computer use. Anyone seen relief of that? How long did it take to get energy? To no more being tired of being tired?

Please if someone can answer these questions... I would really appreciate it. I hope i will live to so appreciate this tool that I am being given. I am so nervous, though.

Hello and welcome!! There are many changes and challenges to look forward to on this trip into being sleeved. Do a search in the forums and read all you can. Congrats on already making exercise a part of it.

Repetitive motion injuries will probably not get relieved with this surgery, you may reduce inflammation but cannot reverse damage. My joints ache less but are not completely pain free, but since I have less padding hard chairs are a lot harder lol - and I bang my knees together now rolling over in bed. But these are NOT complaints, I can RUN up stairs now, so I will gladly take the trade-offs.

Energy increases after you heal, and that takes awhile, but it is pretty amazing. Just follow the food stages, drink fluids constantly, track your food and water and walk. Good luck.

Thank you for replying to me. I am already knocking my knees on stuff, especially getting out of my car. I am really scared, but my loved ones are you're doing it to yourself it's elective. Cheers to you!
