In this week's episode, we're discussing weight loss before orthopedic surgery, particularly before knee replacement or hip replacement. We'll talk about the guidelines which recommend that a patient have a BMI of less than 40 before having joint replacement surgery. We'll talk about why those guidelines are in place, why they matter, and how we can support patients in losing weight in a way that improves outcomes during and after surgery.
