Planning for your surgery
Most of the details of your surgery will be
decided before you leave for Thailand. You will know whether surgery
will be performed in a hospital or clinic in Bangkok, whether under
local or general anaesthesia, how many days you’ll probably stay
in hospital, what to expect of your recovery.

Surgeon consultation
At the time of face-to-face consultation
with your surgeon in Bangkok, all of these details will be
reviewed and all your questions answered.
At this time, you or your surgeon have
the right to choose not to conduct the surgery. The surgeon
may decide you are not a good candidate for the requested
procedure or you may change your mind. You may also choose
to get a second opinion from another doctor.

Preparation for your surgical procedure
Your personal assistant will guide you as you
have lab tests done, register for admission to hospital, visit the
international patients’ floor if you wish, and take care of anything
else that is required.
For your own comfort and convenience, or at
your surgeon’s request, you will probably stay in hospital the night
before surgery.

Your surgical procedure.
Surgery will be in hospital, with a fully
qualified, English-speaking team in the operating room. Your
personal assistant will receive reports of your progress on
a regular basis and will be waiting by the Recovery Room as
you come out of surgery. Later, when you are brought back
to your hospital room, she will be there, ensuring that you
are well taken care of. She’ll happily send email messages
or make phone calls updating your family or friends if you’ve
asked for that.
