Hi , You could start with an xray of your knees.Knees are often the

first thing to show signs of degenerative arthritis from stress.(the

pounding on them from your weight)Of course how large you are and how long

you have been morbidly obese is a big factor.But if your knees hurt

often(stairs,kneeling etc)that might be a good place to start.Knee surgery

is very expensive and very ineffective,if the weight is still there PLUS it

is a condition that is GREATLY improved (pretty much cured)and the

orthopedic will confirm that it is a crippling condition caused by

WEIGHT.Hope this helps,good luck. Janet
