I need both knees done.  I'm only 6 weeks post op from RNY so I need to lose more weight before I can have my surgery.  I will have cortisone injections until then.  Now the kicker.  My husband works overseas so I am by myself months at a time.  How long were you incapacitated after doing both knees at the same time?  I would want to do them that way and he could arrange some time here in the States.  I could have one done and just try to get along on my own.  My other option would be to move overseas so he would be there.  Cleveland Clinic has a hospital where he works so I would have access to quality medical services.  I'm in pain much of the time and take tramadol, but my pouch isn't too fond of it so I have really cut back on using it.  I will appreciate any information you can give me.  Thank you.

Thanks so much for your reply.   I have to do some research to see what would be available to me.  I know I will be much better off getting them done ASAP.
