So before coming in for hip replacement surgery, I would encourage you to make sure that your general health is as good as possible. That means making sure that any other medical problems that you’ve got are as under control as possible. And also, if you can, and you need to, losing a little bit of weight, as that helps to reduce the risks associated with the operation itself. It’s really important to keep the joint mobile. So I’d encourage you to keep exercising, keep the muscles around your hip strong, as well as keeping good flexibility in the joint.
