Activities after resurfacing

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody. I am fairly new to all this. Never found any body to

discuss my situation with before. Have been monitoring this group

and surfacehippy with some interest for the last few months. I am

encouraged I must say. Until 1996 I was very active and played semi

pro football till then. Was diagnosed with OA in my right hip that

year and had an arthroscopy, performed by Dr Villar from

Cambridge Lea hospital in England(has anybody else had a resurface

from him)in the June. Since then have been seriously going to the

gym, all non impact stuff, but have deteriorated badly in the last 6

months. Am now due to be resurfaced on the 3rd June by Dr Villar and

would like to ask a question of all you experienced people. If very

sporty what levels were you able to get back to and how long did it

take to achieve the level. I have read one or two encouraging

postings but would be interested to hear more. Have noticed

something that encourages me very much. Most of the postings are

very positive and I have yet to read any that relate to the

operation being a failure.

Anyway I look forward to hearing from anybody. I will certainly

update with my progress.

Will.

btw I am 46 years old
