"February 22, 2006
I contacted this surgeons' office three years ago, and they said that I was too old for the procedure. Several months ago I read an article that a lot of " seniors " ( I hate that term ) were having the procudure, and living through it so I started the process. Approval took about two - three months, and the scheduling took another six weeks.
I had my surgery six days ago, and if it wasn't for my arthritic hip, I would have very little discomfort.
I really cannot say anything negative of my surgeon or his staff. By the time of surgery I believe I had been told most everything required, what to expect, and what thing might possibly happen so I would have a better understanding of all possibilities.
Tomorrow is my first Post-Op since the surgery, and I can hardly wait.
