How long after RNY should I wait for hip replacement?

One of the main reasons that pushed me to have the surgery is that I am requiring a hip replacement.  In fact, I should have had long ago as it is really, really bad end stage.  I had my surgery on June 3rd.  In total from the prep to now I have lost about 50 lbs.  I still need to lose ideally another 100 but can't wait that long for my hip...I cannot walk at all.  

Has anyone else out there had a joint replacement post RNY?

There is probably no reason you can't get it done today.  But the orthopedic guy might want to wait a bit between anesthesia episodes.  Talk to them and see when they want to schedule.

By the time surgery could be scheduled and performed, you'd likely be ok. But the more weight you can lose ahead of time, the less risky the surgery will be, and the easier your recovery and rehab will be as well.
