@mgfliby Hi, what made you decide to go ahead and have the surgery? How did you feel on the lead up to the surgery?

HIi MATT! My name is Lisa. I just had a hip replacement 8 days ago. The thing that has helped me the most in my recovery was working out. There were those days where I could hardly walk into the gym, but for some reason,the ellipticle always made me feel some relief. I also did some weight training for my core which like you could lose about 20 pounds, but I THINK A LITTLE THICK is attractive.CONGRATS on your huge weight lose!  I can't believe the difference! Yippee! Lisa
