Knee surgeries and pain before the sleeve

[mcg2074 8]

Has anyone here had meniscus repairs in the past and did the pain go away after loosing weight from getting the sleeve?

Yup I had a torn meniscus in my right knee. I had surgery on my knee Oct 2016, and Sleeve 12/12/16.

It's not totally healed but it's getting their. Weight loss will definitely help with the healing. I tried meds and had an option of shots prior to the surgery. But I didn't want to continue with the meds and opted for surgery.

I had a my medial meniscus repaired in September '14 followed by 4 cortisone injections and an arthrogram before having my second surgery in September '15 repairing both medial and lateral meniscus-my medial re-tore. I'm crossing my fingers haha.

I believe with the weight off it will definitely help! I hate u have to go through all that. I definitely know your discomfort.

I am having the same problem with my knee. A torn meniscus before I get my surgery next month. I hope the weight loss helps or I will end up with surgery

Hopefully your knee feels better without surgery. I didn't really have a choice since I hurt my knee at work-well I did have a choice. My knees snap, crackle, and pop from all the wear and tear from sports and work

Not miniscus, but I tore my PCL. just six months ago I couldn't straighten my leg or bend it all the way. I couldn't walk down stairs without a handrail. I was always in pain. Now, 85 pounds down, I only have pain after intense exercise. This surgery saved my mobility.

I've had left ACL replacement & I have no meniscus in either knee now. I have not had WLS yet, but it is one of the major reasons why I am seriously considering it again. My knees are very arthritic & only getting worse. I'm only 40 & I don't want to even consider having knee replacements anytime soon. I figure if I can lose 80-90# it has to take a huge toll off my knees.
