Knee pain due to increased weight.

I'm an obese lady. I'm having this fatty nature till my childhood. After giving birth to my first child, my weight has raised up high. Since last year, I was suffering from knee pain and doctortoldme that,much body weight can do real damage to knees. So I had tried many exercises and tough diets to reduce my weight. And there was no use of it. My weight didn't decrease. I'm thinking about a surgery like liposuction to reduce my weight. Does liposuction cause any harmful side effects? Will this bring a relief from knee pain due to excess weight?




I have edited out the link to the dr you posted. Thanks.

Liposuction is really not going to reduce your weigh enough to make a difference in the pain that you have due to your weight. It is best to lose weight first and then have the liposuction because liposuction is not for weigh loss. For some people when they lose weight, they often have excess folds of fat left over from the weight that they can't get rid of with exercise and dieting. Liposuction removes the excess folds of fat and they can also contour the body.

If you don't learn how to modify your behavior, you will gain the weight right back. There is no surgical weight loss method that just removes the weight. Even with bariatric weight loss if you don't change the way that you eat and you don't do some form of activity, you don't lose much weight and what you lose comes back quickly.
