Lost 50 lbs, No Pain, No Meds

I'm very glad and grateful for having surgery. I have suffered from back pain since I was 15 years old. I'm now 33 and the pain I used to endure on a daily basis is now gone. What sent me over the edge is not being able to participate in my kids' parent/kid soccer game last spring. It has been a long process, but I was playing in my son's fall game this year, and I did …. I have had more motivation to lose weight since surgery. Before I was in so much pain that all I wanted to do is lay down. I've lost 50 pounds since surgery, and I want to do more. 11/22/2016

Since surgery in June 2016, I'm doing much better. No pain in my lower back or legs. I'm able to get around a lot better and have not had to take any meds in a while. Recovery was hard for me and took some time, but I don't regret surgery at all. I'm very grateful for how I feel now. Obviously, I wish things went different, but still grateful. 09/28/2017
