Arthritic Knees
Sep 08, 2010
I have severe arthritic knees that require knee replacement surgery. I cannot walk. Dr James Cobey is my Dr. The Dr informed me that I must weigh under 450 lbs to have the surgery. I had lap band surgery in March of 09. I weighed 615 when I had the surgery, now I weigh 450 - 460 lbs. I have been accepted for pre-op therapy at the National Rehab Hospital in DC. If Dr Cobey is unwilling to perform the surgery, does anyone know a Dr who would be willing to refer me to NRH then perform the surgery on both knees once the pre-op therapy has been completed? I can be reached on 202-257-2870 or [email protected].
