    1. Tama lang yan. So that people who have options and money can decide properly. Kaya si Dr Ong sa Singapore nagpagamot eh. 6 weeks time less 60 percent ang size ng cancer niya. If the Filipino doctors/hospital want the patients' money THEY BETTER STEP UP. Otherwise global na ang labanan ngayon. For those who can afford, its not bad to expect the best for your money's worth

    2. True. If my pera ka, seek the best treatment for you. Ang mga doctors kasi have their biases so it's important to seek second or third opinion.

    3. Angge is young, the doctor’s advice to exhaust all conservative measures to delay the inevitable sounds about right dahil she will need a few replacements in her lifetime since she had one young but it boils down what she wants with her body, her body her choice.

    4. Ung video nahindi na sya makalakad dapat hip replacement na sya . Kasi very weak na ung bones nya. Sayang naman kasi pera kapag pagamot ka ng pagamot. Good thing ginawa na sakanya

    5. Ive a friend na may lupus and nagpa hip replacement surgery. After about 7yrs, nag weaken din,naka wheelchair/tungkod na ngayon. Siguro ang gusto ng drs ay idelay ng idelay ang ultimate ending, which is wheelchair. Kung ginamit mo agad ang alas mo eh di ubos agad ang options

    6. Her body, her choice. But surgery should always be the last resort. I work in the medical field enough to know that these hip replacement surgeries can give you more complications in the future. I have seen patients most common complication is infection, they get admitted for drainage of infection, they keep coming back for it. She is still young there should be some more other options.

    7. 2:13 pwede ring habang bata pa c Angge eh operahan na kasi mas malaki kasi ang chance na makabounce back agad kasi bata pa. Hindi yung kung saka tumanda eh doon pa magpaopera, mas mahaba ang healing time. At iwas na rin sa pain. Yun lang nman ang tingin ko.

      Delete
  2. Super like ko ang pamilya ni Angge walang kaartehan sa buhay. Me mga ganyan talagang doctor yung dahil di nila kayang gawin di nila ibigay ang option na yan. Pero totoo din na madaming di maganda ang experience sa hip replacement surgery based sa mga kakilala ko dito sa US pero di rin lahat masama. Depende rin siguro sa tao kung nag stick sa PT at exercises kung tamad at nasasaktan na nag give up di makakatulong na mag recover.

    1. Madaming cases ba na ganito kasi parang medyo madami ka kakilala na nagpa hip replacement. Nakaktakot na disease and first time ko narinig na meron ganitong sakit pala.

      Delete
    2. D2 sa US common din yan lalo hardworking mga tao pag medyo nagka edad nagpa hip replacement surgery o knee replacement surgery. Yung mom in law ko di naka recover tumanda ng naka walker at laging naka upo na lang kaya sigurado lang mag PT at gawin exercises in like forever para maka recover at somehow makabalik sa dati. Meron din talagang expiration yan sabi 10yrs daw o kung walang gagawin na bawal pwedeng hanggang 20 yrs.

    3. 10:27 pm, madaming cases ng hip replacement but not necesaydahil sa same illness ni Angge. I had hip arthroscopy, I opted to do it than wait and eventually mauwi din sa hip replacement. Mine was minor compared to her surgery but napakahirap at sakit pa din ng pinagdaanan ko. Good thing I have a good support system like her, may katulong sa lahat ng bahay ultimo pagpapaligo at pag tanggal ng undies. It takes courage to do the surgery but much more courage to go through recovery.

      Delete
    4. 10:27 dito sa US, everyday daming hip and knee replacement surgeries. Outpatient and home recovery na sya unless di ka pumasa sa PT or may other issues ka, saka ka lang magsstay overnight sa hospital.

    5. My mom is 70+ years old nag double hip replacement 2nd day naglalakad. Now after 1 year nagaalaga na ng baby na apo niya and na commute. Dapat talaga kumilos.

    6. Mga healthcare workers na kababayans hingi ako ng opinyon nyo. My mother is 74 years old. She needs knee replacement on both knees. Takot sya mag pa opera and she'd rather suffer, wala din sya tiwala sa mga doctor daw dito, (we're in the East Coast) feeling nya baka magka complications ang surgery at d sya gumaling. She takes statin drugs, bp meds and meds to control her blood sugar. Honest opinion, would you still recommend her to undergo knee replacement? TIA!

      Delete
    7. 7:14 she needs to discuss it with her Doctor/s. Honestly magaling ang East Coast doctors, mas aggressive compared sa west coast. I came btw from East Coast (lalo na sa NYC or NJ) and moved sa West Coast.
      Kelangan din controlled ang blood sugar nya if she has to go through surgery kasi high blood sugar levels will delay wound healing. Marami kaming patients na 80-90’s nagpapa hip or knee replacement and they are doing fine. It’s done as outpatient na ngayon. kelangan motivated din ang mom mo, she needs to do her part sa home exercises nya.

      Delete
    8. 714 Ganyan din mother ko… ang tagal bago sya nakapagdecide! Early 70s na rin nung finally pinaoperahan. Medyo hirap pa din ang lakad pero mas mukha okay na. Sa North Cali naman sya nagpaopera.

      Yung iba naman kakila ko, na halos kaage din… ang bilis ng recovery! Mga 1 to 3 months lang normal na. Yung nanay ko hirap pa din.
      Meron din ako isa pa kakilala na ka age din nya na after knee hirap pa din. Yung isa namin kamaganak na siguro late 60s… sobrang na relieve daw sya.

      I think the earlier the better. Ang tagal na advice sa nanay ko magpaopera pero nagpatumpik tumpik sya. Hanggang sa hindi na kinaya.

      Hindi ko talaga alam maaadvice konkse nga yung nanay ko din ganyan at mukhang case to case basis. Yung mom ko naman ta least nakakalakad pandin ngayon with cane. Mukha mas naging okay sha after surgery.

    9. Depende rin kasi sa health condition ng mama mo. I had my knee replacement surgery for both of my knees in my early 50s. Kailangan a) ma-research mabuti yung doctor na gagawa ng procedure b) yung metal na gagamitin, hindi nickel. c) yung care after ng surgery - nag-hire kami ng caregiver for one month, d) napakahalaga ng support ng family

      Delete
    10. anon 7:14, it would be better for your mom to have surgery while she’s relatively younger and healthy. Kasi if she’s not as healthy and then decides to have surgery eh baka hindi na payagan. Knee replacements are routine in the states. You get to walk with the help of PT relatively fast. One factor for deciding surgery sooner than later for your parent is that success of surgery is better in younger patients than in older patients.

      Delete
    11. 7:14 PM look up Jiffy knee me page sila sa fb, si hubby sa tagal mag decide me nagkwento abt them Dr. Pattel ng Virginia kami pumunta, less than an hour lang ang surgery, 1 hr recovery at outpatient. Ibang klase ang way nila than other knee replacement surgeon. Pagtapos ng 1st PT ng husband ko nag drive na sya at aspirin na lang ang pain meds nya. Look them up baka makatulong. Syempre PT talaga ang tutulong pagtapos ng surgery.

    4. Maraming pagdadaanan na different kinds of laboratory analyses ang mga human implants to make sure na they are compatible to human bodies and avoid complications. I work in a lab in Germany and we do analize implants for different parts of the body.

  6. Magpabreast reduction din sya para hindi mabigat para sa hips nya.

    3. ang bastos mo..parang wala kang nanay at kapatid na babae..aral2 rin ng appropriation nagmukha kang walang modo

      Delete
    4. Walang bastos sa sinabi ko, magresearch kasi kayo para alam nyo ang disadvantage of having a big breast. May appropriation ka pang nalalaman breast reduction surgery naman talaga tawag doon or baka gusto mo pa reduction mammoplasty. Si Ange nga taklesa magsalita pero kayo- masyadong sensitive. Anyway hindi naman mababasa ni Angelica ito pero kung mabasa nya at magpabawas sya, makikita nya yon benefit. Habang tumatanda tayo yon bone density natin nagdedecrease kaya may risk na sa back and hip pain, falls and bone fractures, so kung mabigat ang hinaharap mo nakakadagdag yon ng pressure sa bones mo tapos ang dami mo pang ginagawa daily.

    5. Hala.. valid naman suggestion ni 11:42. It may affect talaga dahil mabigat ang breasts.

      Delete
    6. Understandable naman yung comment paranless stress sa body

    7. Actually breast reduction is recommended or advised for those with back pains. Hindi yan bastos. You will be surprised that such procedure could be covered by insurance if ur big tits is affecting your health.

  8. Always seek second & third medical opinions but at the end of the day the patient gets to decide after physicians tell them the procedure, risks & what patients need to expect.

    1. Correct. Other opinions are important talaga so you can make an informed choice.

  9. What was the cause of her avascular necrosis? Has she shared that in her previous vlogs?

    ReplyDelete
  10. I watched her vlog..parang masyadong disappointed siya sa previous doctors niya at mukhang nasayang ang pera niya kasi walang improvement at nagworsen pa nga. Pero yung pagsasabi na "mali" sila ng advice na wag gawin ang hip replacement is i think too early to tell kasi 5 days post op pa lang.

    1. Bago sila pauwiin kailangan nag rehab sila nakakalakad ng me walker, yung hubby ko outpatient lang 1 hr surgery, 1 hr recovery. Bago sya pinalabas akyat baba muna sya sa hagdan na parang ke Angge at naglakas sa hallway. Within 48hrs dapat nag start ng PT nya. After the 1st PT sya ng nag drive para sa sarili nya at kahit me konting sakit nakakagawa na sya ng mga gusto nyang gawin within limits lang.

      Delete
    2. I think it was important for her to have relief agad kase di na din sya makalakad and masakit sobra. Nawala yung sakit yun yung naramdaman nya kaagad after the surgery. And she wants to spend more quality time with her kid. Matagal na nya iniinda yung sakit ng hips nya lalo na nung buntis sya. So yun she was seeking relief sa pinagdadaanan nya.

      Delete
    3. 1:14 I agree with you on almost everything except nung after first PT, nag drive na agad. We’re not recommending patients to drive immediately after this type of surgery. That is not safe

      Delete
    4. 3:34, agree. Hindi dapat mag-drive agad dahil nilalagay ng pasyente ang sarili niya at ang ibang tao sa kalye na madamay kapag naaksidente.

      Delete
    5. 3:34 nagsasabi lang ako ng totoo if you go to the page of this clinic ang mga nagpapatotoo ganyan din sinasabi, after 2 days di na sila ng narcotics aspirin na lang ang gamit nila. Ibang way ang knee replacement nila so mas madaling maka recover. He was asked to do what he usually do normally the next day with walker of course, walang pa bebe to get back to normal asap.

  11. I really wish her well. Sana gumaling na sya. She's been through a lot lately.

  12. Best decision she made. As a physical therapist and as a daughter, whose mom waited 15 years to get the surgery done, time was wasted. Mom could have travelled and lived a pain free life those 15 years.
    It’s out patient procedure here now in the US.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Sana okay ang lahat dahil ang hip replacement is a major procedure in our body and longer talaga ang healing process. At least she tried and if yung mga seniors na nag hip replacement had successful recovery, I am sure she will do just fine.

  15. Medyo bata nga sya for hip surgery but if advanced stage yung AVN, hip replacement naman talaga bagsak nya. As for the timing of the hip replacement, it's a conversation that has to be made with her doctor. Glad that she did proper research and was able to advocate for herself. Personally I always ask patients if they have any questions regarding their condition and what I plan and if may procedure, explain yung gagawin, risks, downsides, etc. and I encourage them to inform themselves din kasi katawan naman nila yun. Quality of life naman talaga usapan and if hip replacement will afford her that, go lang. Malaking bagay yung nagagawa mo everyday activities mo, pain free.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Usually ito Ayaw ng doctors nag papa opera pag sa hips kasi daw delikado ang ginagawa nila is therapy and mga supplements. Again Iba Iba kasi katawan natin usually mga senior doctors pag kaya pa sa gamot and therapy wag magpapaopera. Bata pa si angel hinde ko alam baket siya ang pa opera agad sana nag second opinion siya .

  18. My husband 56 years old has 3hips replacement in a span of 10years he recovered pretty fast naman. Dahil daw sa mga meds na iniinom nya it's weakening his bones.. the last surgery nga the doctor did something to level his legs kasi hindi na nag pantay patagilid na mag lakad husband ko if not wearing his special shoes. Hope you recover fast Angie.

    ReplyDelete
  19. May friend ako na same condition as hers. Gusto din nya mag hip replacement surgery for quality life kasi early 50s pa lang sya. Sadly, she cannot afford it. Hirap sya kumilos and hanggang PT lang muna sya now. So, yung decision ni Angelica, tama since afford nya and bata pa sya. Her body will adapt and may chance sya talaga to live a full life after she recovers.

    1. If taga PH sya marami naman channels where she can seek financial assistance or go sa gov't hospital to save on hospital costs and pinaka main gastos na lang nya is yung implant. Although mahal nga din yung implant, pero malaking bagay na rin yung di mo babayaran room, OR fee, RR fee, PF, etc.

      Delete
  20. It’s an outpatient procedure here in the US. Just had mine done 7 months ago, and after one month, I was walking without cane and walker. Had home health care/ PT comes for a month for PT sessions, then 3 months of PT at the facility. It was a posterior approach. Just have to follow precautions to fully recover. I consider mine a very successful procedure and recovery. Wish Angelica the best.

  21. Imagine the previous Doc wanted her na tiisin nalang daw ung pain for five years? Whag a psycho. The’res solution naman for her.incompetent yung previous doc nya.

  22. Reasons why I love watching their vlogs that resonates on this episode:
    1) very totoo sila, no pretensions. Imagine a millionaire like her aaminin sa lahat na hindi ganon ka feasible ang gastos pag sa abroad magpaopera.
    2) Cuteness overload ni Bean!!!!
    3) Daddy Gregg - siya na talaga ang epitome ng hubby na hihingin mo kay Lord. Gravehhh!!! Deserve na deserve mo siya Ange!!!
    4) how motherhood suits Angelica perfectly!! Grabeh talaga ang character development niya.

  23. This is very common sa US and European countries ang 'hip replacement surgery'. But sa true lang napakamahal nitong procedure na to...lalo sa pinas na ilan lang makka afford kaya ung iba tiis tiis nalng.. stage 3 na cya collapsed na ung bone a loob kaya. Get well soon, Angge

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. True, common procedure na to lalo na sa mga matatanda kahit 80yrs old pa. Kung sa Pinas, sasabihin lang nila sa 80 y.o., you are too old na for the procedure. Considering nga na bata pa si Angge mas may kakayanan siyang makarecover at sorry for the words, but you can tell naman na may disiplina at may inspirasyon siya to get better because she has a young family pa. Alam naman ng consultants nya na stage 3 na pero diniscourage talaga siya not to have it and instead made her fear it pa. Can't imagine myself being told to stay in bed and tiisin na lang ang lahat when they too say hindi na maagapan pag stage 3.
