What type of hip surgery is this going to be? I had left hip arthroplasty surgery, meaning the hip joint was replaced. I was on my way home only 24 hours after the surgery. What made it tough though was trying not to sleep on that side of my body and doing exercises. I was able to drive though in just a few days because I did not need my left leg to press on the accelator and brake. If it is your right leg, you won't be able to drive for at least six weeks.

Any hip surgery is invasive, no matter how minimally it may be done.

My doctor was trained at Mayo so go there if you can. Mayo has supposedly the best orthopedic service.
