Aga was very helpful and
provided good communication and support to us before we went there. We were met at the airport as promised and taken to the hospital,
however the hospitral werent expecting us and we were left hanging around for hours before being told to go into town to do some
shopping and to return later for our tests and to meet with the surgeon.
After meeting with the surgeon we were put at ease, but I was
disappointed to learn that my operation that had been booked for months was not being done the following day as arranged but the day
after that instead. When I did have my operation, they moved my friend who had a facelift out of the hospital and didnt tell me - she
and I were both distressed by this and didnt see each other for a further 36 hours and were both worrying about the other. When we
finally did meet up again and I got discharged we went to the apartment. Although described as luxury, you have to rememberthat their
idea of luxury and ours is very different - my friend was left in a small apartment for 5 hours while they cleaned ours, when she got
into our there didnt appear to have been much cleaning done and the previous occupants didrt laundry was rolled up at the door. Apart
form that it was perfectly fine and extremely central in this beautiful city. Eating out is unbelieveably cheap and the shopping is very
good - even getting about with a tummy tuck was suprisingly easy! :D
We both went back in a week after our first operations for our next
ops and once there my friend did have to argue a bit in order to get the discount that we had previously been promised - but to be
honest I think this was just a mix-up in communication. We were both happy with the second procedures as neither of us had to have
another general anaesthetic (which obviously does wipe you out for a couple of days!) and we felt a lot more alert and happy and in
control.
We were taken back every day to have our wounds checked and our dressings channged, however sometimes this did mean a fair bit
of hanging around waiting to be collected and seen, but this is obvioulsy as they are so busy.
I would recommend this company - I have
the utmost faith in the surgeon, who is not out to rip you off and will not perform a procedure which he feels is unnecessary. He is a
warm and witty man, who puts you at great ease. He does speak a little English, and is trying to learn more, but the majority of
communication is done via an interpreter (Aga).
The main problem here was communication - or 'lack of it' You believe that one thing
will happen and then find out that actually that may not be the case, so although I will highly recommend the company, I would say to go
in with an open mind, be aware that changes may happen, and make sure that you get all your wishes and requirements clearly across to
the company in order that you all know what is desired.
An extra bonus is that you have a direct landline phone in your bedroom and you
are allowed your mobiles too - so communication home is easy and very welcome particularly when you are feeling vulnerable. Its true
about the hospital food - its not particularly good, but then again it is a different culture - so take some snacks in with you.
