Has anyone on here had a hip replacement when their BMI has been in the overweight/obese category? I am on the waiting list to have a hip replacement and at the moment my BMI is 32. A couple of years ago it was 44,but I've managed to lose 7 stone. I'm trying to lose another 3 stone at the moment. A few people have told me that it wouldn't be a barrier to having a hip replacement,but several things that I have read indicate otherwise. I'd hate to miss out on the op because my BMI is too high.
