I am very grateful to all those who have posted their experiences with the procedure. I am very nervous and I cannot stress how much it means to me to hear how everything went. It has put my mind a little more at ease. My appointment is Oct.22nd. I plan on arriving with my husband a couple of days early. Travel, and flights really tire me. I want to be in a good frame of mind when I arrive. I am currently looking at flights, and trying to arrange childcare. Where do you suggest we stay? I am thinking either the hospital or Greenville. Did Geya tours do the booking for you?

Thanks

I'm in Bulgaria, had my procedure on the 7th, went well. Dr. Grozdinski found stenosis in both jugulars in 10 minutes---left .5mm and right 1.6, and in the agysos, he knows his stuff, as does Dr. Petrov ...My two new favorite people!!
I see a little change, wish it was more, I I guess I have to give it more time.
The hospital is beautiful, nurses are friendly and the hospital food is good.

more updates to come

Anna
Good to hear your update. Thanks and hope the improvements continue.

Mugsby, we are scheduled next month. We went through Geya tours. We are in hospital hotel 2 days prior to procedure as my wife also has difficulty with the travel so we wanted the rest time at both ends. After discharge we are 2 or 3 days at greenville resting.
good luck!

how much money to bring

Post by dania »

How much money should one expect to spend on meals. I am staying in the hospital hostel for the week. Is there anything other expenses besides food? Or if anybody has any other tips it would be appreciated.
