Great to hear Keith, you bilateral guys are different class. 💪

@@petersmith4518 I am making great progress playing Padel tennis, Lagree, gym and biking. I do need to work hard plus, I'm not buliding muscle as quickly. I did the surgery in Montréal with Dr. John Antoniou he's the only one in NA. Its interesting that anything different enlists such a barrage of naysayers, stifles innovation. I am glad I did one and done in the US no one wanted to do it - its all about the money -

Hi Peter hur är läget? slå en pling om du vill det.

All good with my hip, doing cross fit, cycling and golf in the summer. Good luck 👍

The ANCA Clinic where I had my surgery did have a Clinic in SA for a while. I can’t see it now on their website. I would fly to Belgium if I was you.

@@petersmith4518 Thank you so much. I was going to search out De Smet, and I was hoping they are still in SA, but don't think so. They were trialling the ceramic on ceramic here, but they had to stop the trial when one broke (out of 500) and now haven't seen them since.

@@PantheraPhotoSafaris There were quite a few from Sweden who had surgery in SA.

@@petersmith4518 That is correct, but i believe they were part of the Ceramic trial which has been paused :(

Five years since my operation and all is well. Wouldn’t hesitate doing it again, though my right hip is fine. Good luck

@@petersmith4518 hi peter did you have the other hip done before do you have any pain in the resufaced hip was thinking of going to belguim to get it done

Hi peter where did you stay and did hospital provide physio after thanks Brendan

@@brendanreynolds8994 Just had the one hip done, the other one’s fine. I was at the ANCA clinic Gent, Belgium. We stayed at a hotel in town

Hi, posterior approach and no muscle atrophy, the rear muscle is divided not cut.

@@petersmith4518 many times posterior approach leads to muscle atrophy--happened to me

Hi Wendy, Without knowing anything about your husband I would say that 8 weeks is still very early for the majority of patients. The aches and pains are probably muscle and tendon related due to doing the same exercise too long. The trick is to find a balance so that he be moderately active everyday. Sitting still is not helpful.

@@petersmith4518 Peter, thank you for the quick reply. Moderately active does not appear in his dictionary... 😁

Hi Please mail me, no problem👍 ps24uk@gmail.com

Hi Rob, thanks, so glad you found the videos and chose re-surfacing. Kör lagom i början, sedan hårt💪💪

@@petersmith4518 That sounds like good advice, but let's just say that I'm at a TOTALLY different fitness level to you, så det blir inte så hårt oavsett!😅 To see what you can do now is truly inspirational, but I get how much was involved to get to that level of fitness. I guess one has to make it part of life? Can I ask if you had general anesthesia or a spinal epidural during your surgery? I'm not keen on general anesthesia and being intubated.

@@rob9207 General anesthetic yes, don’t know of anyone having local anesthetic for a hip replacement. Spinal epidural no.

@@petersmith4518 Thanks for your swift reply Peter. I hope that I can get the epidural instead of the general anesthesia, but I guess I will find out soon. Not to worry you in any way, but I noticed that the Conserve Plus seems to have been pulled from the market, and there are some lawsuits etc in America. I heard you say that you had a size 56 though, and I think it's almost always the smaller sizes causing problems. I don't yet know what size I will get, only that it's larger than 50, but I hope I can get a 54 or a 56 like you. I'm having the Birmingham BHR btw. Just in case and assuming all goes well with the surgery, I think I will be measuring my Cobolt levels over the coming years, just to be on the safe side. Apparently up to 5 or 7 (parts be Billion) is not too bad, but if it goes above that you can get tinnitus and potentially other more severe problems. All in all though I think it's worth the risk, and I will try to follow a lighter sort of your training regime. It seems that going from no activity (sitting/laying) to high impact activity like running without a warm up is what causes the most issues, because there isn't enough lubrication. Once again, a big thank you for making these videos, and for updating on your progress, it's incredibly valuable for those of us about to embark on this journey. You're a real inspiration and a great motivation for me to try to get back to a better level of fitness once I'm through this.🙏 PS. There are likely many of us who would happily pay good money for a "Re-hab - Fitness After Hip Resurfacing" style video series/online course if you ever decided to put one out. There aren't many men in their 50s who have undergone hip replacement/resurfacing that can do what you can.🙂

@@rob9207 Hi Rob, I wouldn’t recommend an epidural over a general anesthetic. There is probably a higher risk with sticking a needle in your spine compared to sleeping gas. My advice for rebab is lots of daily motion, walking is great, cycling and swimming if you can. 10000 steps a day. Climbing stairs is an easy exercise, air squats are another. The worse thing is not moving enough.

Hi, I was 51 years young and the prothesis is a metal on metal type, conserve plus.

@@petersmith4518 I 41 and got my left hip resurfaced. I plan to have the right down within 6 months. Then hopefully onwards and upwards from there.
