My angina went undiagosed for over a year, and the docs finally found meds that relieved the pain but not all the symptoms. I've had two foot surgeries to relieve the pressure on the soles of my feet, and they are somewhat improved. It would be great to lose weight and relieve even more pressure! I would like to share experiences with everyone. Thanks for your reply. Lynn |
The procedures overall are somewhat similar from doctor to doctor/insurance company to insurance company, but each one has their own prerequisites. You may want to practice reducing your calories now because one of things required right before and then after the surgery is that you reduce your calories dramatically.
