"I'm almost 2 months out but took notes right after surgery for things I wish were different and things that were great. pros: the surgery so far seems successful, I have 5-6incisions that are small and thin less than 1inch and others about 1 cm in length
I haven't noticed any trauma or severe reactions to the surgery and the staff that was there was very attentive. The hospital was beautiful and I loved the room I stayed in. Cons: They say there is follow up but there is no follow up no one calls you to monitor your progress when you leave you are on your own and out of the 5 days I stayed at the hospital I say Dr. Lopez Corvala maybe 3 times and for very brief moments. I had one scare coming home after my flight I notice my feet had swollen and tried contacting his office and ending speaking to a nurse who told me it was edema (water retention) which is very common after surgery and it did go away after two days and was not painful just unsettling if you have never had it before.
Overall I think the surgery itself was well done and logically it is in another country and many hours away from where I live in TX so I take that into consideration and have no regrets. At $6,500 it is a superb facility with a skilled surgeon."
"The hospital is huge and when I stayed there our bedroom was like hotel room except I had a hospital bed and my mom had to stay on the day bed which worked out ok but is my only qualm. I wish there was another actual bed for whoever was staying in the room with me. My favorite part of the room was the bathroom it was beautiful and marble with a huge shower and there were help buttons in the bathroom and bedroom. There are a lot of security guards at the entrance so I felt extremely safe and the courtyard is a nice change of scenery to walk in when the hallway becomes boring. My mom loved the cafe food located in the courtyard so I will have to take her at her word because I couldn't eat it. They don't let you bring any food or drinks from the cafe or outside the hospital back to your floor or room I guess that is out of respect to the other patients but I'm not entirely sure. It was nicer than any US hospital I've gone too."
