This was the first time that I have considered having medical procedure outside of the U.S. My overall experience was above average. Even through I speak the language staff were English-speaking as well. Professional and very knowledgeable. The only concerned I had was I believed I was release to early. I would recommended staying one more day. Procedure started about 7pm Monday and was being transported back to the hotel at 7am Tuesday and at 1pm on my way to the airport. Flight scheduled to return at 6pm.
Being at the airport that long and not even 25 hours to rest was hard on the body. Stitches on the stomach made it a bit difficult. Medications were given from staff. Besides this all was good and would recommend. As of today 11/26/14 I have lost 11 pounds. I will be posting after photos in a few weeks.
