Thank you Sir...for this extremely helpful video. It was the most hilarious one I have seen too !! I'm in need of the same bilateral operation, like ten years ago and did not know that both could be done at the same time !! Being all alone, I don't know how I will be able to handle it... Thank you so much for taking the time and effort 🙏🏼

Nice to see a man had the courage to do a double hip replacement shows a great deal of courage and commitment to once again lead life that one should doing the right exercises and being patient and careful as much as possible

What a great video Bob. Having bilateral hips is a challenge and your warts and all review will be very helpful to patients who are awaiting surgery. It can take up to 2 years to make a full recovery, so keep at it!

Hi Bob, I've just found this vlog, and you are the 1st I've come across that had the corin way, I'm having the same thing bilateral posterior total hip replacement the corin way this month in Australia. So I was super excited to watch it. Thank you for all that information 😊

I’m getting my left hip done in two days but they’re going in through the front. Thank you for the video.

it's very nice Bob!!!! I hope the best for you! Thank for the video!!!!

Thankyou for taking the time to do this and share. I have an operation pending, so this gives a really good idea of what the recovery road looks like. Cheers Bob

Hi Bob, very much enjoyed your video which was professional and covered most of my questions. I live in London Ontario and scheduled for a double hip replacement, soon I hope! There is a backlog of patients due to the pandemic, but all the problems you talked about pre-surgery are what I’m experiencing, so nice to have a real person like you review all the issues I can expect. So thanks - your sense of humour is just what I need!

Excellent video, very informative and you obviously have a great sense of humour. I had a bilateral hip replacement on 21 July 2021, and like yourself I decided to go private, the NHS was not an option to me due to the long waiting list. My surgeon was Winston Kim at the Spire hospital in south Manchester. Like your surgeon, he was excellent. I had the Mako robotic arm assisted hip surgery. I did not realise at the time a double hip replacement in one go was relatively rare, the nursing staff said that i needed to tick quite a few boxes to have the procedure. I have just turned 65 years of age and after 4 months feel so much better.

I had both mine done a couple months apart best operation ever I’m now pain free and mobile again 👍

Great to know you can have a bi lateral hip replacement. Thank you for the clever vlog.

Excellent probably the best video I've seen on you tube. Your presentation was very imformative and I so hope I do as well as you. I have seen horror stories on here mainly about the excruciating pain others have suffered but you appear to have experienced the opposite. Due to work commitments I'm hoping to be back behind the wheel btw 4 to 6 weeks just hope that works out OK. I'm up in Yorkshire and hope my surgeon is has good as yours. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

Very good informative video which I’ll share with my sister

Wow you are so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am 35 and my bilateral replacements are scheduled for 7 days from now. You have given me hope and confidence!

Thank you so much for making this vlog. I’m also in the south of England and, at 55, have been advised that I need both hips replaced soon due to long term effects of hip dysplasia. My surgeon does 2 bilaterals a month using a posterolateral approach and OPS system. He’s given me the choice of simultaneous replacements or staged 3 months apart. As I usually have up to 4 months off work over the winter I thought the simultaneous op would give me a better chance of getting back to work next summer (I have a very active outdoor job). Also, my "good" left hip has a habit of giving out on me so I'm not sure i would want to rely on it if I have the right one done first. There's just so little information out there to make the decision on though. So, again, thank you so much for this video and I hope you continue to go from strength to strength.

Good to learn about the recovery calendar. I will be going for my left hip replacement in feb 2022 and is hopeful to have a normal lifestyle after. Tks for sharing.

I’m scheduled for my right hip replacement in two weeks and then my left three weeks later my doc said he would rather do it this way. Thanks for making this video I was wondering how the recovery may go hope I have the success you have had 👍

I was due for my Right hip in February but cancelled for now !!!! Plus I was stuck with paying $6,000 bill !!!!And we pay for our medical !!!!

Hi Bob - I really enjoyed your video as I had literal hip surgery (performed by Jeremy Latham) almost 4 years ago. What I will say is that it will get better and stronger as long as you stay active. I never now give my hips a thought. Last week I actually skied for the first time and it was amazing as there was no pain and the additional mobility meant that I was skiing better than before...even off-piste. I think Jeremy is posting a video I sent him.

Thanks for sharing. I'm recovering from hip surgery and I had the right 1st and the left a year after.

I also planning for that

Muito obrigado. Farei artroplastia bilateral na próxima semana. Esse vídeo definitivamente mudou minha forma de pensar... Foco total na recuperação... vamos pra cima

I had hip surgery on my right side . In Aug and on my left side in Oct doing good now not back to work into jan

Thank you for sharing! I just had my right hip replacement and wish I had both at the same time. If I had watched this before hand I would have. Thanks again!

Hi Bob, it's a great and realistic video you've made. Thanks for sharing your story. May I ask whether your THR was done with anterior or posterior approach?

Hi Bob.. just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience of double hip replacement. I’m due for mine on 29 Jan 23. I’ve been in so much pain, I just can’t wait to have mine done. Which way did they go in with yours? I heard anterior was the best way? (What do I know!)… I got my lovely new loo seat and some crutches.. wonder should I get a Zimmer frame thing? Was that helpful? I’m (only) 62…lol and wasn’t expecting to need both hips done just yet… plus having to use all my savings :(… oh well, your health is your wealth so they say! Last question… do you know what caused your infection at all? I really want to try and avoid this if poss… thanks so much again. You have really helped me…Caroline

hi bob. I loved your video . I'm 31 years old both of my hips are worn out and require hips replacement. your video taught me a lot . I wish you nothing but good heath .

what was the pain meds they gave you ?? I had a Left Total Hip Replacement in October, 2022 and was only given 5 MG of oxycodine and tylnol !!!! felt like you stabbed many times where my insicion is located !!!! It was horrible !!!!

Bob its great you have recovered so well after surgery... Can you please tell which implants placed in hips.... Ceramic on ceramic , ceramic on rubber or dual mobility hip replacement...? And it was with MIS or open surgery...?

I just had a THR on the right leg. I thought that I had planned out my recovery well in advance. Made my room into a hospital bed. Couple things to say. It hurts like nothing I’ve ever felt. I had a spinal anesthesia and general. Ask for it! It blocks all nerves from waist down. It’s weird to wake up feeling as though you’re paralyzed. It wore off slowly. Took some selfies while lying there. Fun fun. Then all the anesthetic meds stopped working. I spiked a fever in the hospital. Then did a selfie with a cold cloth on my 102 degree head. Not so much fun anymore. The pain is excruciating. I’ve had an intestinal blockage that didn’t hurt this much. I’m not tryna to turn folks away from arthroplasty. Just know that it is major surgery and terrifically jarring to the body. All that sawing and hammering involved in the procedure is taxing. Give yourself the time and space to heal from this. I’d be the one tryna push it at the gym on a stationary bike too. Aw man. ✌ and ❤

which surgery did you have posterior, anterior or side? Did I miss that part?

Hi Bob, it's me again. 2 months before my scheduled surgery and I can't sit on the floor and be able to get up. Near the end of this video I see you were sitting on a floor mat training muscles. You can sit down and get up from the floor with no problem?

No way

Can you kickstart a Norton Commando? 😉

Hi, which approach did doctor use during operation? From front , side or back of the legs?
