John’s Hip Resurfacing 2008
April 25, 2013
I haven’t been back here in years but decided to check in today. I had one hip done in 06 and the other done in 07. I waited way too long to have them done. The surgery/recovery is nowhere near as bad as you think it will be. If you are in constant pain and unable to do the things you enjoy then get it done soon. You … Read the rest

I had my right hip resurfaced in June 2009. I have scuba dived for many years, and enjoyed my first post-surgical dive last month. I had no problems while diving, (though some struggle to get back into the boat!) I happened to mention the dive while chatting with a group of friends, which included a doctor, who is also a diver. He was horrified that … Read the rest

Jira’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. De Smet 2010
I received a Right Conserve+ 17 days ago from Dr. De Smet of Belgium. We got home to Canada 6 days ago and today I had my first exercise session in our local pool. The therapists were blown away by how mobile I was. They have very little experience with resurfacing, and see people with THR, 6 weeks post-op, who have lots of rehab to go. I … Read the rest

I’m having occasional chills and night sweats as well – it’s day 4 post-op for me. The sweats were significant and I felt a big increase in overall pain level – as if coming down with the flue. So far, the symptoms have passed and i don’t have a fever. I’m reassured to see here that I’m not the only one. Obviously lots going on post-surgery.

A "traditional" hip guy who … Read the rest
