What They Don’t Tell You About Total Knee Replacement | Real Patient Stories

What they don’t tell you about total knee replacement isn’t just medical — it’s personal. In this livestream, we share real patient stories about knee replacement surgery, the costs, recovery, scars, pain, physical therapy, and the emotional toll that often goes unspoken, especially when you're plus size, obese. #TotalKneeReplacement #plussize #KneeReplacementRecovery #PlusSizeHealth #BlackWomenHealing #KneeReplacementSurgery #PhysicalTherapyJourney #HealthEquity #RealPatientStories #KneeReplacementTruth #LifeAfterSurgery Between my sister, my parents, and myself, our family has lived through nine total knee replacements. This conversation is raw, honest, and meant for anyone preparing for surgery, recovering, or supporting a loved one through the process. In this livestream, we'll share our real patient stories about total knee replacement surgery, recovery, scars, pain, physical therapy, and the emotional realities that often go unspoken — especially for plus-size patients and Black women navigating the healthcare system. We talk honestly about how body size, race, and bias can impact the quality of care, communication with providers, recovery expectations, and how prepared patients actually feel going into surgery. This is Part 1 of a Total Knee Replacement livestream series focused on: • Plus-size knee replacement experiences • African American patient perspectives • Recovery and physical therapy realities • And the things doctors don’t always explain This conversation is raw, respectful, and real — created for anyone preparing for surgery, currently recovering, or supporting a loved one through the process.
