[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 85854, member: 3184"] Rehab would be awful, but if you wait it will be worse. I have had 70 yr old obese women who had knee replacements and had a horrible time. Even with all your other conditions, I can't help to think that it would be easier at 40 than 50 or 60. It does not sound like they are going to get any better. I would talk to a Physical or Occupational therapist to find out there opinion. Occupational Therapist (OT) help you find ways to do things your self that make life easier. Like long handled shoe horns and adaptive equipment. You do not have any cardiac or pulmonary diagnoses do you? I have also had 70 yr old obese women who had no problem with surgery. I think some is determined by how you feel about the surgery, and also by who your surgeon is [/QUOTE]
