Hello.
I am about 50 pounds overweight and I have lost 25 so far. I considered waiting until next year to have my right hip replaced so I could lose the weight but my insurance will pay for this surgery and I have a 20% coinsurance as I have met all my Blue Cross family deductible. So I decided to have it August 18th of this year. What I am getting at is will my recovery be hampered by my excess weight? I intend to lose another 20 pounds by surgery. I am on a vegetarian diet and don't eat any junk food or candy, cookies, ice-cream (unless made from soy). It has worked so far and the weight is coming off.
