Is hip/knee replacement or ankle surgery cost effective on people chronically overweight?

Obese seems unkind?
I know a couple of very large people that are undergoing knee/hip replacement currently. I have to wonder if it wouldn’t be better to help them manage the weight, first, then replace as needed?
At the least, shouldn’t it be a combined effort?
Seems to me that hip/knee replacement has become a cash cow for doctors, given by the Baby Boomer’s.
