I'm so sorry Marc. I have known people who have had marvelous results from knee replacement. I have also watched them deal with the pain pre-op, and it made me wince.
(((marc))) so sorry that you have to have knee replacement surgery!!! i haven't had it so not sure what to tell you but make sure you have a good dr that knows what he/she is doing!!! wishing you the best of luck brother!!!!
Sorry to hear you are going to have to go through that. That was one of my major motivators to get WLS. My hips, kees and ankles are all going bad. Good luck!
