    PS Decisions

    posted by  Reenie G in Costa Rica forum 

    Hi Julie,

    Yes I have made my final decisions. I went down to Costa Rica first too and still didn't know exactly what I was doing until I came home and continued to pray on it and think about my options.

    I would be glad to write more privately to you but the bottom line is this:

    1. There are several good surgeons. You will read good and bad about most.
    2. There are several different hospitals and outpatient clinics to go with. Cost is one factor, where your surgeon is comfortable determines part of that.
    3. Don't expect things to look like they do in the US! It's s foreign country and it's the tropics. The roads are different, the weather, the people, everything is different.
    4. Try to talk with as many people as you can once you are down there. I visited with a couple of the patients as well while i visited Chetica Ranch where I will be staying. I had lunch there and took their shuttle van from my hotel to get the full experience of the place.

    I am working on a website for doing some medical concierge which is listed in my profile. It's not completely finished but you can get an idea and if you want more information I'd be glad to talk with you on the phone or my private email.

    Good luck!
    PS I'm scheduling surgery for next month so it's taken me over a year. I'm slow! lol
