Hi RachelMy name is
Sarah and I would also like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!
I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well.
Me and a long time friend called Victoria, just recently went over to Bangkok from Australia. This was for Victoria's GRS at Phyathai 2 Hospital. The clinic associated with the hospital is the PAI clinic. We stayed at a hotel just a couple of blocks away from the PAI clinic on the same road. Briefly she had an itinerary mapped out and it went something like this:
- Three or four days before surgery which included two psychiatric interviews not lasting more than 30 minutes both on the same day and medical tests.
- One week in the hospital and one week recovery afterwards. I was with her all the time looking after her for those two weeks.
What is going to happen in your particular case, I cannot tell you. The surgeon and staff should provided an itinerary so that you can plan your flights before and after the surgery.
As you are travelling alone, ask Yanhee to confirm what support they provide during and after surgery, including someone to escort you back to your hotel after discharge and daily wound dressing checks. Ask whether they can arrange a caregiver or whether you need to arrange this independently.
For hotels near the hospital doing a browser search should yield what you need and the cost of staying there.
Some important things you need to consider are as follows.
- How you are going to pay for the surgery and hotels. (we used wise credit card and Victoria payed for surgery in cash)
- Grab an eSim or something similar as WiFi would more than likely be available at the hotel and you can send messages that way, unless you want to make phone calls to family or friends.
I will let Victoria know about your two posts and she can fill in a few more pertinent details and or advice. She really planned it very well and kept in contact with the doctor and staff while she planned her journey.
I hope your journey and surgery goes well in January. From what you have described in your two posts you are well underway in planning, take your time, without rushing things.
Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the other forums and threads. I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new members.
In addition members of Susan's will more than likely discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these issues as well.
Please keep in mind when posting that this is an
ALL AGES PUBLIC Forum and the internet never forgets. Do not post anything that you do not want to be made public.
Take care and all the best for the future.
Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!Best Wishes AlwaysSarah BGlobal Moderator@Devlyn @Jessica_Rose @Mariah @Northern Star Girl @Lori Dee @Rachel.au @VictoriasSecret
