Need evaluation: If your thyroid function is normalized with thyroid hormone treatment, you may be a good candidate for surgery - but you might also look for other ways to reduce weight despite your bad knee. Find an activity that you can do and enjoy! If you haven't tried it, swimming might be the best to try.
