Hi everyone! I wanted to know if anyone with arthritis has ever gotten bariatric surgery or considered doing so? It’s so hard for me to keep active because of my pain and the weigh I’ve gained has been putting more pressure on my joints. I think it would benefit me a lot. What are your experiences with weight loss and chronic pain?

      I’ve never had a bariatric surgery, but I’ve lost some weight (30 pounds). I felt so much better, as if a heavy bag had come off me.
