I have yet to see a conclusive info on this. AFAIK he might not had the surgery due to his religious belief.

So did he have hip surgery or did he not?

Also, I'm in no mood to do further google search so anyone knows why JW doesn't allow blood transfusion?

I just did one for you. "They refuse blood transfusions because they believe the Bible commands them to abstain from ingesting blood and that avoiding blood pays respect to God as the giver of life."

Also, see here for more info on general medical issues & beliefs on their part.
