Hi everyone,

Me and my wife have been planning a trip to Perth Australia for the last two years. When we booked our flight we didn't get flight insurance (lessoned learned). I am having hip replacement surgery in a couple of weeks and our flight to Australia leaves in a month from the surgery. The longest leg of the flight is 17 hours from Dallas to Sydney. I am 55 years old and so I was wondering if anyone has flown with a new hip? My doctor has told me 3 months but have been talking with several people that are telling me within 2 weeks to a month there is no pain. Good news is my flight to Jamaica is about three months. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks
