Gina's letter about her medical vacation

Gina (not her real name) wrote us one day and sent some photos that we wanted to share with you.

Dear Julie,

I had such a positive experience with my overseas medical care that I wanted to write about my journey.

I was able to combine my liposuction surgery into a month’s vacation traveling around Thailand which has become a favorite destination of mine for many reasons.

Being a single woman I find it very easy to travel on my own in Thailand. So after an initial meeting with the doctor I headed for the Andaman Sea for scuba diving and to explore the western coastal region which is very beautiful.

It is particularly easy to get around Bangkok. Thailand is an extremely affordable country and I find that I am doing many activities that I cannot afford on a regular basis in the U.S.

I also spent a lot of time getting spa treatments like facial microdermabrasion, manicure/pedicure and enjoyed a pearl scrub the night before my surgery. This combined with the comfortable hotel-like setting of the hospital made me so at ease that on the morning of the surgery I had no anxiety whatsoever.

It was strange considering I had never had surgery before, but I felt like I was being very well taken care of. (I also had my teeth laser whitened all of which was happily arranged by my medical concierge.)

From what I had read of other people's experiences from liposuction, I just assumed that I would spend at least a few days in pain and was not sure of how mobile I would be. To my surprise, after a night’s stay in the hospital I was released the next day and spent the following day shopping in Bangkok and I was doing something active each day.

By the time my recovery stay was over I felt basically normal and took off exploring outside of Bangkok to the island of Koh Chang. After a week on the island I made one more stop to see Julie and get checked out by the doctor and was headed home.

Best to everyone in Bangkok,

Gina
