Hello and I'm excited to find a forum where perhaps I can get some good advice. Due to severe OA in both hips, I need two total replacements. Currently I am on disability due to this issue as the pain and instability severely limit my mobility.
My biggest hurdle seems to be weight: due to a high BMI (just over 50), the first two surgeons said they could not operate. I have been diagnosed with DVT, but besides that, I am in reasonably good health (no prior health issues, no diabetes or cholesterol issues, etc.)
Any recommended surgeons near Santa Cruz, CA?
Also, I am in need of health insurance as I was "terminated for medical reasons." Any thoughts on Kaiser versus say Dignity Health for my issues?
Thanks for any help you can provide, I appreciate your time and assistance.
