A question before my surgery with Dr. Chettawut

[jojo702]

Hello ladies,

Ok, so today I have finally received my 4 blood tests and x-ray results and I have to ask those who have done the SRS+Breast Implants or either with Dr. Chettawut. Did you have to send a copy of your blood test and x-ray to Chettawut or did you have to have a clearance letter from the physician to send your blood work to Dr. Chettawut?

Anyway, I have finally spoken with Ms Som and she said that the skin graft, if it is required, I will need to pay 32,000THB on the day of consultation with Dr Chettawut. As for my flight, I have to book it as soon as I can so they can determine when I'd be in Thailand and when I can do my consultation and meet Dr. Chettawut and his team. I ahve already sent in my 1st recommendation letter to Ms. Som and she said she'll give it to Dr. Chettawut for approval and the 2nd letter I will be recieving this week. So far everything is going as planned so far.

This is a journey but oh so worth it.

I sent electronic copies of everything - and made sure we could fill out the excel spread sheet with the CBC (etc) values. It should be the excel file you use to confirm the surgery. You should also take the physical copies with you. It does not hurt to have electronic as well.

These all have to be sent to Ms Som as soon as possible. Your physician can tell you if they are normal / but the clinic will need the lab reports. Or a summary of all the values clearly labelled and signed by physician or his clinic

Ok thank you Mel. I have sent in my lab blood tests results as well as the X-Ray result which is not the x-ray image/film, hopefully that would suffice. I called the X-Ray Imaging office and asked for a request for a copy of my x-ray image results and they said they'd be able to give me a copy of the image if Ms Som does require it.

I went to Dr. Chettawut for a BA in 2011, and he did not require me to send any lab results or x-rays to him in advance.  The way that it worked is that, I had a consultation with Dr. Chettawut the morning after arriving in Bangkok, and then I was driven to one of the hospitals for blood work and a chest x-ray.

Oh, I guess it's different for SRS+BA
