Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi Ellen, welcome to the site! Unfortunately I cannot help with advice re: Canada/surgeons there. But my ex lives in Calgary - isn't that exciting? ) Just kidding - that is, about it being exciting, not that he's there... ) We're both young - I'll be 38 next month. At times feel 90 (which I am sure you can relate - as can all we hippies pre-op)! My insurance said no to any coverage, so I'm researching my options. But I'm single with no kids...so there's a big difference! ) Hang in there...you'll get plenty of hippie response. There's quite a few in/from Canada. Typically posts die down around this time for the next couple hours till tomorrow (except for our European contingency...) Good luck to you!

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Thanks - I did actually get some doctors in Canada from another chatter. I know the health coverage is different in the States however I guess i need to look into whether it will be covered by ohip in Ontario. A question for one of my new surgeons I guess Thanks for the support Ellen > > Hi everyone - I'm new to the chat line and am looking for some > info. > > I am 41 years old diagnosed with hip dysplacia and am seriously > > interested in hip resurfacing.
