Hip surgery with an implant

First of all, I got my implant thanks to Dr. Levine in Chicago 1-1/2 years ago and couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend him for anyone considering an implant.

But now I’m scheduled for a hip replacement this October. My wife always prefers to be on top. Will this be an issue for me following the hip surgery?

Hi,

After 9 marathons, one triathlon and the entire John Muir Trail my left hip said "Buh-bye!" in 2020.
I went ahead and and had it replaced at UCLA , it was a great move on my part because the arthritic
pain was becoming severe every passing day.
Very shortly after that, I discovered my PSA was drastically out of whack- so Me and Mr. Prostate cancer
got acquainted with each other for the first time and a Radical prostatectomy followed suit.

Of course, this destroyed my ability to achieve a natural erection and an IPP was installed.

As for your question...
I have done everything with the exception of hanging off the chandeliers with the Mrs.
She has been on top of me riding like a piston many, many times and everything has been fine.
Those hip replacements are designed to last 30+ years.
Unless your wife weighs an astronomical amount you should have NO problem with her
on top of you. :lol:

I sure haven't!

Best wishes.
