I saw my orthopedic surgeon today regarding my knee replacement surgery last January. Everything is going great with this knee. I almost have compelte bend and no pain at all. My right knee will have to be replaced in the very near future because it's been hurting me a lot here lately. He did suggest losing about 100 pounds to avoid having the knee replaced. He said it would help me all over. Of course I would love to lose 100 pounds! He suggested gastric bypass. He gave me a name of a doctor in Tulsa, OK that will accept Medicare and Medicare will pay for this if you are 100lbs over, well I am and then some.
What do you guys think about this? Of course I will have to clear it with my cardiologist, my PC doctor and my oncologist. I see my cardiologist for all the yearly tests on January 21st. Please give me your opinons.
