Title: 5 Year Anniversary - Dr. Robert Marchand
Post by: mmooney42 on April 02, 2019, 08:06:01 AM
Hi Everyone,

Today is the 5 Year Anniversary of my left Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Robert Marchand at South County Hospital in Wakefield, RI.  My hip has been great.  I am very active on it as well.  I do a lot of cycling.  I also work as a college football official in the fall and have no issues at all during the season.  I do continue to do a lot of stretch, strength and stability exercises as well, and feel that plays a big role in how successful my resurfacing has been. 

I used to frequent this board quite a bit prior to my surgery and it was a great tool for me to research the procedure and build a comfort and confidence level for me to move forward with the surgery.  I've had a few friends (who had a resurfacing done) that I have guided to this board to help them research the procedure as well as their doctors were pointing them toward a total hip replacement.

Thanks,
Matt
