When I made my decision last year that I really had to do this, I checked with my insurance and asked about "second opinions" or finding a surgeon. They were fine with me seeing as many as I wanted. I started calling and booked appointments with as many surgeons as I had time to call, sometimes two a week, sometimes ruling them out on the phone call just because. I live in an area where we have probably 50 surgeons within 10 miles. If you need to schedule this surgery for December, better get moving!

@hipster_chic saw Dr. Grandic -- check out her recovery thread.

Do some research online about FMLA, that's the Family leave act. I'm sure it can protect your position at your job for 12 weeks with continued health insurance. You may still have to pay your weekly contribution into your insurance plan.

This appears to be the best plan above as I returned to work at eleven weeks felt I could have done it at nine but didn't want to put pressure on my new hip climbing two floors of stairs as we don't have a lift at work. A lot of pressure to return after four weeks take care.

Good Day,
I am late posting as I don't visit this forum as much as I should. Good news is the reason I don't is that I never even think about my hip anymore. It feels totally normal and pain free. Dr Grandic performed my Left THR back in December 2013 and it changed my life for the better. I cannot recommend Dr. Grandic more highly and believe SuperPath is the way to go. If I ever needed my other hip replaced, or knee replacement, I would not even consider anyone else besides Dr. G. Not only is he a fabulous surgeon, but a super nice man to boot. If you are still looking for an orthopedic surgeon, do yourself a favor and schedule a visit with this guy. He is top shelf!!!
