Having had watched my mom recover from knee replacement my thought is having the bypass first would make more sense... There is lots of rigorous exercise to fully recover from knee replacement... Some of it will be impatient and most of it will be outpatient... Thinking that would all be easier to do weighing less.

That is what's going to happen to me. Well not replacement but I am having knee surgery which will happen before gastric does. Hopefully two months will be enough time to be in a good position for gastric.

Oh I get it, stupid insurance. 6 more months of pain would not be fun.

No it wouldn't. I am so tired of not being able to walk. The mandated diet for the other seems like forever!

Any chance you have a doctor who has treated you for obesity? If so, maybe they could speed it up a bit by writing something... Just a thought
