Not sure I've quite worked out how to direct you to the appropriate posting, so have copied and pasted this. Hope it helps. Alan saw Mr Keene.

6 Hip Resurfacing General Questions / Hip Resurfacing Topics / Re: BHR (hopefully) scheduled for 29/01/11... on: January 05, 2011, 06:28:23 AM
Hi Alan,
No reason to suppose your surgeon is anything other than excellent, but why not get another opinion from one of the guys who you can email your xrays to as a jpeg.
It's always interested me that when patients go for a second opinion about a medical problem, they nearly always take the 2nd opinion as the correct one - seems to me the logical thing is to go for a third opinion if the first two are at variance.
I know this isn't quite the scenario in your case but it does seem that resurfacing is relatively difficult compared to thr and, just possibly, someone who has done thousands might view your case as relatively straightforward.
In terms of gym work - really working on your quads and glutes would be very good. I didn't do this enough and have a lot of muscle wasting. It'll bulk up eventually but I fancy my recovery might be a bit quicker if I had stronger quads.
You might like to take a look at a thread I started under post op issues - things I didn't expect in the post op period. Don't let it put you off, though! I'm just over 5 weeks post resurfacing and back at work; although it's still quite painful at times.
The best of luck whichever route you go down.
Andy
