Hi,

My name is Ramesh, I am 38 years old. I am a Senior Manager in a leading IT company in Bangalore. I have been suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis for the past 8 years. The problem aggravated in the last two years with both the HIP joints getting involved. I was unable to stand upright and walk. My mobility was severely compromised.

I heard about Hip resurfacing through my nephew who is a doctor in Birmingham, UK. My initial plan was to go for the surgery in UK. I came to know through my nephew that there is a Doctor who was trained in UK and experienced in Hip resurfacing, who has now re-located to India and performing the surgery (HIP resurfacing) in India. Through the doctors in UK, I was provided the name of Dr Bala subramanian. I contacted Dr Bala and the first consultation/discussion with him was re-assuring.

I underwent surgery of both my hip joints in the month of October 2006. Its two weeks since the surgery. My posture is now corrected and I am able to walk. Dr Bala is amazing. The entire team of Anesthetist, the Doctors and the nursing team at Ramakishna Hospital, Coimbatore were very co-operative and helpful.

I can not thank Bala enough for providing me a new life. I look forward to leading an active life in future.
I would also want to thank my wife for being so supportive through out.

Please do not hesitate to write to me at rkestur@yahoo.com for any questions.

Thanks,
Ramesh
