Larry’s Original Blog Part 1 and Part 2
I was referred to this site by a fellow hippy,
Max Garner of Troy,NC. We talked today on the phone for about an hour. I’d
heard that he had the resurfacing done and decided to call him.
He said it was interesting that I called today because it
was his first anniversary of the surgery. We both had the same surgeon,
Riyaz Jinnah at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. My surgery
was on Sept. 29. I’m 62 years old and have been running for 29 years. I’ll
reach my 30th anniversary … Read the rest
5/31/2017 – Sorry it’s been a while since I last updated about my hip.
I had one of the replacements that got recalled, and I’m glad to be able to say that I’ve had no problems with it, thank goodness, a lot has happened to me in the last 4 years, and having a goo hip, helps, I’m now married, with 4 step kids and 4 step grand kids, with a 5th on the way, so as you can imagine, having a good hip helps.
Flying down thousands of miles to India to get my Hip
Resurfacing surgery done by Dr. Kaushal Malhan at Wockhardt
Hospitals, Mumbai has indubitably been one of the choicest
decisions I have made in my life.
It all started about thirty years ago when I fell down while
playing Basketball and over the years it just started to
build up and all my joints started to pain and some reason
my right hip got the worst
About 10 years ago the pain all of a sudden it just went up,
and it was just horrendous, it was like 3 stake … Read the rest
My name is Stan Weinstein. I am an active 63 year old retiree.
I taught Math and Computer Science at a high school in NYC for 34 years. My
surgery took place on June 22, 2009 at Holy Name Hospital in New Jersey. My
surgeon was Dr. David Feldman of Active Joints Orthopedics in Englewood, NJ.
Dr. Feldman was assisted by PA, Josh Falto.
I first noticed problems with my left hip in 2005. I thought I had pulled a
muscle and I tolerated the aches and pains in the hope that rest would
alleviate the situation. I continued to … Read the rest
I am recently back from Belgium with a brand new right hip
(De Smet, Jan.11/06). So far, life “on the other side” (as Alan called
it once!) has been great. Slow and steady, but already feeling
so much better than I was before I went to Ghent…
…I thank you for listening to my tale here…but the main
point that I am trying to make in my long-winded way, is that we do
need to get that word out there. The opportunities for me to do so
simply just kept landing in my lap for … Read the rest
For anyone who is interested, here is a brief and boring account of my surgery
and hospital stay. I was in hospital from Monday the 17th to Saturday July
22.The actual sugary took an hour and a half, and went very well, thank God. No
complications, and the anesthetist was completely agreeable with my desire for
no narcotics and no sedative. It was kind of cool to hear them banging and
clanging, and I KNEW when I heard a particular metallic clanging sound and felt
my body being hammered, that they were hammering in the acetabular cup. <big
grin>I had … Read the rest

Richard from Nova Scotia Antoniou RASR April 10 2007 I’m a new 69 year old surfacehippy that was in pretty good shapebefore the operation and am now 10 days post op in Montreal. Staples were removed yesterday and I’ll be returning to Nova Scotia tomorrow.
At the outset I have to say that I think I read too many stories of surfacehippies who with few problems and little pain were walking without aids and back to a normal life within weeks. My recovery hasn’t been so smooth or quick, and part of the mental … Read the rest
Well, after watching this board on and off over the last four painful years, I finally had my right hip resurfed by Dr. Gross on Sept. 5, 2007. I want to tell everyone that my pre-op and OR experience were beyond belief. I used to be an RN and I have never seen a team of medical providers so compassionate and just plain nice.We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in the parking lot of the hospital. Being the first case of the day we thought it would be easier. Two or three minutes after arriving they came to take
