Hi @johnbishop. Thank you so much for taking your time to respond to my question. I appreciate it very much. I actually am currently in PT. And the PT had mentioned it to me. They are helping me keep flexibility, strength and mobility, and have been so helpful. I actually go in today to receive my hyaluronic acid injection, so I guess I will have a more clear idea of if it will help in about 30 to 45 days. Fingers crossed. I have lost 5 pounds in the past couple weeks and have 30 more to go, and that too will give me a more clear idea of how long I can wait before surgery. You have been so helpful. Thank you again!!

Hi Katie! I'm hoping that the hualuronic acid injection prolongs the knee. I'm sure if I would have gotten on the stick and lost more weight 10 years sooner I may not have needed a knee replacement or could have got into my 80s before having it done 🙂 One thing that has really helped me with my weight loss is intermittent fasting. There is another discussion you may find really helpful on your weight loss journey.

Good luck on your weight loss journey and also with your injection today!
