Planning knee replacement
Nine months ago I had my surgery. Unlike the majority of you, my knees seemed to worsen after surgery (they were bad already). I had Supartz injections done which were very helpful and the doctor told me the weight where he would like to see me before doing the surgery. Personally, I wanted to get lower than his request and today I am 20 pounds below his number and ready to tackle the next surgery. I am so thankful for my wls. Without it I would still be in the terrible physical downward spiral and constant pain. It has given me the chance for an entire new life. I'm pretty antsy about the pain of the surgery, but hopefully will remember I might not have ever had the surgery if not for my wls.
Good luck to you. My knee pain got better a little after surgery and then worse; then I had the knee replacement. It helped some, but I have had problems since and I am not a complete success yet. I can climb stairs better and walk better, but have a lot pain sitting and sleeping (anytime the knee is bent). Good luck to you! Hope your experience is better than mine.
