After waiting approximately 16 months for a hip replacement I contacted Mr Westerman at The BMI Meriden Hospital and within 3 weeks my replacement was done. He is a very thorough, caring consultant. Very willing to explain every aspect of the procedure with you and puts you at your ease immediately. I was on my feet a few hours after the operation and sitting eating breakfast the following morning. My replacement was done on the Wednesday afternoon and I was home on Friday morning. Pain relief is given so that you dont suffer at all, and i reduced it rapidly when I was at home until I didnt take any at all. I was walking with one stick within two weeks and as I am a keen walker I was going for short walks after 6 weeks. It is very important to do the excercises that are given to you and attend the physio sessions booked for you. My left hip now is not the in the best shape and I will need a replacement at some point. I will have no hesitation in contacting Richard Westerman when the time comes, he and his team are excellent. Very talented. It has now been just about 12 months since the replacement, and I am walking 3 or 4 times a week for 4 or 5 miles each and feeling fit. No one should have any apprehension about having a total hip replacement procedure. Geraldine Geelan
