Do you need your other knee replaced? If so, do you think the weight you have managed to lose will benefit you for your other knee to be replaced?

I have degenerative arthritis in my left knee also and it is bone on bone but I'm fortunate that I don't have any pain with it so don't really anticipate needing a knee replacement for the left knee. I do try to exercise my legs daily by riding a recumbent exercise bike and I'm sure that helps.
