Hi Moose. I don't have any experience with hip replacement (personally or within my family) but I have to assume that the younger you are when you have it done the easier and more rapidly you'll recover. I've heard people who have had it done say that they wish they'd done it years before. I guess it makes you feel so much better. I'm sure the recovery and PT is grueling but if it'll make your QOL better then I'd do it.
Good luck on the diet. Have you tried Weight Watchers? You can join online and pretty much make up your own menus based on the foods you like to eat......healthy choices, though. Not junk.
I wish you the best!
