He's not one to complain, but I know by his actions he's resigned to the hip replacements and as they get closer, THEN he will start working out, and he'll regret not doing it while he was still in his 40s.

It is very frustrating. My husband will be disabled and he doesn't care.

Minor hijack ahead

Karen - Your husband needs to do what he can now to prevent surgery, but you already know that. Meanwhile, you may want to look into a procedure called hip resurfacing. He's not a candidate now, but may be one in the future. This is the same procedure that Floyd Landis had.

One of my clients, a kayaker by profession had this procedure in Belgium at age 56 and is doing very well. He highly recommends this website for information:
