Control Arm: Participants in the control arm undergo a total knee replacement without surgical weight loss intervention and will complete six (6) research visits over the course of 2.5-3 years, in addition to the standard of care visits required for TKA. Research visits will include study activities such as vital sign measurements, orthopedic outcome assessments, physical function assessments (i.e. stair climb, 400 meter walk, etc.), questionnaire completion, and synovial fluid collection at the time of TKA.
