I am a 49 year old man living on Cape Cod with my wife and our two children. My weight over the decades has slowly crept up and hitting an all time high of 287pounds. I have had 9 knee surgeries on my right knee since i was 17yo. When the knee hurts and buckles the weight scrambles on.The more the weight the more the knee gives out. Then came the sleep apnea, Then the Blood pressure pills. Then the cholesterol meds. This path was leading to early death or total knee replacement before 50 and the weight gain roller ride. I am actively in the last phases of all the preop requirements and have a surgery date for early March. I believe this is the best course of action for my life and achieving my goal to live to 100. The alternative is to dire. I would like to read more on the first few days after surgery and how quickly one can return to work and family life.I not looking for horror stories. Thank you John
