Bill’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Bose 2007 I had my left hip resurfaced by Dr. Bose in Chennai in March of 2007. I was a serious athlete earlier in life, playing college basketball and a lot of tennis. I had not played any tennis 3 years prior to the surgery because I just could not move well and the pain was too great.
I am happy to say I am beating guys I was not … Read the rest
Chawl’s hip resurfacing Dr. Bose 7/31/06 Since I love “all things resurfed”, I’m more than happy to respond to folks that I may be able to help. I’m an “older dude” … just turned 51–15 days ago. And, just minutes ago … one of my gifts to myself just arrived in the mail. That would be a set of two, 70.5 lb. (32 kg) Kettlebells from performbetter.com. As I’ve spent lots of money on the … Read the rest

One of my favorite pastimes before my hip pain became too unbearable, was to climb up Amicalola Falls, a steep mountain in North Georgia, USA. All throughout those difficult first few weeks after surgery, I kept dreaming of the day that I would once again be able to climb the 604 steps to the top of my favorite mountain. Well, today was a beautiful, clear crisp day here in Georgia, so I … Read the rest
I have read this site for 2 years leading up to surgery and wanted to come on here and post about my surgery. I had a right BHR done Feb 28, 2012. Dr Robert Barrack of Washington University Orthopedics in St Louis, MO did the surgery.
My progress has been wonderful. Dr Barrack did surgery on Tuesday, sent me home on Wednesday, I was walking with a cane Friday, walked a mile on the track … Read the rest
The first time I noticed any hip pain was in 2004 when I was jogging and had a very sharp pain in my left groin area which only occurred when my left knee was raised to its highest point which didn’t occur on every run and typically when running hard uphill. The pain subsided and would only reoccur periodically during subsequent runs (I would run about 2-3 times per week) so I put off seeing … Read the rest
June 11, 2009 I am six days post surgery and feeling better. I had a rough 18 hours due to H and H blood levels and allergies to pain meds. They were trying to get me up out of bed, but I was so lightheaded that I could not go anywhere. I ended up passing out in the restroom about 22 hours after my surgery, but luckily I knew it was coming and they were … Read the rest
November 15, 2007 Yesterday I got my hip resurfaced. Today has been ok but yesterday after surgery was quite a rough experience since I’ve never been in the hospital before. I had know idea of what to expect and was very scared prior to the surgery. I came out fine and have started recovery.
Dr. Ball here at UCSD Thornton Hospital in San Diego said the surgery went well and showed my the x-ray of … Read the rest
February 11, 2011 So, today is my big day. We woke up at 3:30 a.m. to get showered and dressed for my 5:30 check-in at Thornton Hospital at UC San Diego.
Most everything has gone very smoothly and I can’t say enough good things about the doctors, nurses, and staff here. I was fully prepped and in the OR by 7:30 a.m. A few minutes of bantering with the surgical team is all I remember … Read the rest

On Nov. 19, 2007 I had my left hip resurfaced by D. Scott Ball at UCSD Thornton Hospital ,La Jolla, CA. I got in 30 days early due to a cancelation so I only had about 5 day window of being “anxious” but due to prayer I was very peaceful all the way up to going under. I was put under at 1:00 and remember waking up about 5:00 with no pain. … Read the rest
On Oct. 26th, I reached 12 years, since I got my MOM surface replacement (RH), performed by Dr. Amstutz.

Thank you Dr. Amstutz,
