Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 If one reaches this point and opts to go to Spain for the procedure, what kind of post-op care might one expect? I imagine that one would hang around for at least a week or two in case there were complications, but upon returning to one's own country, will insurance cover DS post-op care, labs etc? Would any procedures resulting from complications be covered? Jean. Re: Surgical costs > Good luck with Sacred Heart.

I just go to my regular PCP who knows what I did and then I email or fax my blood work to Dr. B. I'm very pleased with the responses i've gotten for problems I've had which where all minor! He doesnt for get you when you go home. Complications are extra but no dr charges. Dr. B. charges a flat fee for his services. He is also known to spend the night when someone is having a problem etc. He is very dedicated and you'll find his patients pretty loyal!! There is a list for Dr. B. if you want to find out more.
