I got the same old spiel about BMI which I know is bullshit! I know if something goes wrong with the surgery, the hospital and doctors malpractice Insurance goes up. I am so sick and tired, of being put in a category, where I am told "The risk is higher, for infection, with my BMI" NEWS FLASH! ANYONE who goes under the knife has a risk of infection. I don't care if you're underweight, at the weight medical says you should be,, or fat.. EVERYONE has a risk of infection.. I have NEVER had issues with going under the scalpel. I had my left hip replaced, my right knee, at the very same weight, with no complications whatsoever. Stop teaching your Dr's this and scaring them. I have been in extreme pain 24/7, EVERY SECOND OF MY LIFE for almost 3 years. I have no quality of life. My BMI was not this high after getting surgery. I gained this weight from not being able to walk or exercise.  Than you people turn around and expect people to lose weight? It is impossible. It took my 1 and a half years just to lose 30 lbs. The medical field told a body builder, with not one ounce of fat on him, that he was obese. I did the research on BMI. The calculation started back in the 1800's, when the railroad was being built, not in the Country and ONLY on men. So STOP pushing this BMI BULLSHIT! 1 shoe does not fit all. Yes, some people that are over weight have complications, however, that is anyone.. I am not one of them.  A lot of people that aren't even fat, in the medical field know it's BULLSHIT as well. Than you push opiates on people in pain and say there's an opiate epidemic, when you people are the ones started it to begin with. There is an easy fix for it, just replace the dam hip. Thank you for listening. Aren't you glad you asked for my feedback? At this point, I am not trusting medical in the USA. A lot of people feel the same way. How can you people being "Professionals" make a person suffer in pain like this? It is wrong on all levels.
