After months of working with an orthopedic surgeon on my need for a total shoulder replacement, he has now decided I need to get my knees replaced first. I would love to get my knees replaced as I’m now w/c bound due to being unable to stand, the pain is excruciating and my quality of life is deteriorating. I’m aware surgeons are hesitant to perform TKR on the morbidly obese (5’5 weight fluctuates between 260-300), but am hoping someone in this forum ( similar situation as mine)has been successful in finding a surgeon in the greater Seattle area who did a TKR for them. Thank you
