Partal knee replacement

Found out yesterday that the grade 3 OA in my knee would become grade 4 in weeks if they operate on the damaged cartridge now.
My only option is a partial knee replacement.
But before that I need to get my BMI down.
I'm 38 - this is devastating to me.
Anybody else my age had to have this procedure?

@Dizzytiggy ive just joined the forum and checking your post. I’m a year younger than you and have been given a 3/4 year window before TKR but optional surgery to delay.
what was your outcome and what is it like now??
