@linney619 Hope all goes well with your surgery, I am the week before you, the 12th. Well done on the weight loss, I too had to loose a stone, lost 18lb in the end, so I am now down to 10.5 stone.

I am having a GA, have had two experiences of spinal, neither of which went well. They just don't seem to work for me, so I am opting to go the other direction.

Hopefully we will all be in a much better place by the end of January.

@fiona4269 wishing you the best I have to stop thinking about it until then but I know that will not happen. I had a GA last year I didn't like the after affects.
if the spinal does'nt work I will have to get GA.

I just want to walk again without limping and without pain.

I'm having R TKR on January 4th. Had L TKR 8 years ago so you think I wouldn't be nervous but I am! Am 57 fit female and love having a forum to share our progress.

[GSC]

Sorry, I meant to post my surgery date as 1/4/2016 (instead of 1/4/2015)!!

 

[bottomshollow]

Actually, @GSC, I am the culprit here. I keep forgetting to use 16 instead of 15 on the January list.

Please add me to the list, I am having a left total knee replacement on January 5th 2016. Thanks

Hello one and all, I am scheduled for Jan. 21, 2016 for my full knee replacement.
My OS has given me the option of the Deputy Attune or the Zimmer Persona produces but not to sure on the Zimmer, because I find a ton of recalls and lawsuits on this knee.
So I now have set my sights on a Deputy Attune Sigma Rotating Platform Knee.
Looking for others insights to this knee.
Thanks ahead of time for any and all comments.

 

[linney619]

My OS uses the Zimmer Persona he has been doing this for many yrs. so I trust him. You have to do what you feel is best for you. My surgery is Jan 20th 2016. we will be recovery together.

@atruelove64 and @DeuceDiamond, I am sorry that your names have not been put on the list. We had a change of servers, and, as with all IT changes, some things don't function and have to be tweaked. I am unable to edit the list in any way at the present time. I will get you on the list as soon as possible.
