The orthopedic community generally expressed confidence in the results, stating that it could be the start of reevaluating weight loss surgery as a covered procedure. However, it must be noted that weight loss surgery is only reserved for the worst cases of obesity, typically those with a body mass index of 35 and above. The rationale behind this is understandable. As long as the excess weight remains, any effort in restoring functionality to joints like the knee would be neutralized. It will be subjected to the same burden as the knee before knee surgery. People should make an effort to lose pounds for anything the Denver orthopedic surgeon does to be effective.
