Hi there. I too needed to lose weight for a knee replacement. I just had that surgery on August 10, so I am about 9 weeks post-op. I've had a very easy time of it, which my ortho surgeon says is directly related to having lost most of my excess weight and doing a good job of pre-hab before surgery. Good luck!

I am in the starting stages of this my first dr appointment is not until Jan I am in constant pain with my back and joints Im leaning towards surgery but its a big decision and change I basically have 9 months to figure it out I guess Im most worried about if I can deal with the pain after surgery

Hi there - like any surgery, there will be some pain after WLS; however, you should not suffer from uncontrolled or unbearable pain. Talk to your surgeon before-hand about what the plan will be for pain-control and what the fallback will be if that doesn't work. In my case, I had a lot of post-op pain and my surgeon had to increase my dose of pain meds to get it under control. Runaway pain hinders healing, so don't try to tough it out, work with your doctor to reduce it to a reasonable level. Good luck, whatever you decide!

anyone start working out later on in their journey? or once they hit their goal weight? I'm nervous to start in fear of gaining weight. I'm one year out
