Went for 3rd opinion yesterday. He told me the exact same thing as 2nd opinion told me, only was more blunt. Told me my weight plays a factor in things. That I should have had the gastric bypass instead of the lap band. I agree, but can't change it now. He told me to join a gym with a pool and to get in the pool to exercise because he said it's impossible for me to do regular exercise with my foot and weight right now. DUH! I could have told him that.

3 said that if they fused the bones together it would be a heroic surgery that only had a 30 maybe 40 % chance of actually working and then I'd end up having my leg amputated anyway.

I just want it gone and for the pain to stop. It sucks being the slowest person around and gritting my teeth with each step. I don't have the support I need to get thru the operation and my family is worried about my state of mind with and without the surgery.

So for now I keep the damn foot and grit my teeth with each step.
