Hello Carole,
Good to hear that everything went smoothy for you!
May I ask how you finished up with this particular surgeon, through
relatives or friends perhaps?
Also, which make resurfacing did he use on you?
You were quite daring taking on two hips, but I suppose the need
called for this and then there aren't too many options! To your
knowledge, does Dr. De Gendt always do his bilateral operations a
week apart or was this just so for your case?
