I’ve had a few patients who have undergone this surgery. Recovery is difficult, both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take foot pain away. Foot pain may decrease after losing weight, but many times there is a biomechanical problem causing foot pain. This specific problem must be addressed to stop foot pain. If you or a loved one is considering bariatric surgery, please be sure to have a strong support network of friends and family for a successful outcome. The below link covers the various options more thoroughly.
