Read2016 658 Posted May 30, 2016 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.

charmming 23 Posted May 30, 2016 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. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jj031 21 Posted May 31, 2016 No it wouldn't. I am so tired of not being able to walk. The mandated diet for the other seems like forever! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Read2016 658 Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) 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...
