I had my lapband surgery on 6/25. It was more difficult than I expected but I am doing better now. I am 67 years old so I imagine that makes a difference:smile: I look forward to feeling normal again and losing weight so that my knees will feel better.

Congratulations on getting banded. You will only feel better and better each day from here on out. Very quickly the weight will drop and the knees will feel better. I can shop without the use of a scooter now - just 6 months after surgery. I will be 67 in October so I can relate to how your knees feel. I still can't walk stairs normally and probably never will until I have knee surgery sometime in the future. But I don't mind tackling them anymore. I just go slowly. Good luck in your journey. The first five days are the worst then it's uphill from there.
