What's the heaviest anyone here got TKR?
For me, I started at 470 and lost 125 pounds in 11 months. My weight was officially tracked throughout so my surgeon was able to get me into surgery at 345lbs. Has anyone had it done this heavy? What challenges do you feel you faced that were different than those who get it in the typical covered weight range (bmi 40, as opposed to my 60)?
And, yes, I plan on continuing to lose weight. Both knees are bad and I'm hoping that, even at 60yo, having decent knees will help me lose even more
Note: I included my weight loss and journey in this post for context only. The purpose of my post was to ask about challenges at higher weights, not to discuss my weight loss.
