Can I have an operation to help my stomach from protruding to help me feel better with my constipation & back strength. I do strength training with free weights & walk a mile most days.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your description you are having severe osteoporosis.
Hip replacement (Arthroplasty) is the best treatment for this.
As of now you can try drugs like Alendronate.
Consult an orthopedician and he will direct you to various treatment options.
Thanks
