October 5, 2010 I have scheduled a LBHR on Decmeber 15th of this year with Dr. DeSmet. I am excited yet nervous about the 2nd time around.

My left hip is not as bad as my right was 7 years ago, but I decided to go ahead and get the left done anyway. I am excited to see the new Villa in Ghent and hope it all goes as well or better than it did in 2003.

January 19, 2011 I am almost 5 weeks post op, and everything went well and is going well.

For those of you considering Gent, Belgium and Dr Koen De Smet, I highly recommend him. The new villa was great for rehab, and got me off to a faster start than when I had my first hip done.

I know I made the right decision for myself to go back to De Smet.
