He explained what the costs were no hidden chargesJune, UK, 21 11 24KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY/ FULL LEFT KNEE. 6th Nov 2024. Gijos klinikos, Lithuania.
After nearly 3yrs of constant pain, and no joy of having my knee replacement surgery done on NHS, in England, (even though I was on the priority list) . the waiting list seemed to get longer and longer. So I decided to go private and did a lot of research on having an operation abroad. And after looking at what each and every one had to offer Gijos klinikos was the one that I felt was safe and outstanding. Their videos and testimonials stood out, so emailed the clinic, and asked the question, can you help? They have been so informative, I was sent information, and we arranged to chat via WhatsApp, as this was free to use. Karolis was my first contact, on my path to a new knee. He. Explained what the costs were no hidden charges, and all about my stay at the clinic. And helped with arranging flights and accommodation for me and my partner .scanned my letter over to them, regarding what the surgeon in UK said about my condition, and then DR AURIMAS SIRKA, from the clinic let me know what kind of knee implants he would be using. We arranged a date suitable for us to travel, and arrangements were made to meet us at the airport. And take us to the hotel where my partner would stay. I spent 2 nights in the hotel and then picked up to go to the clinic, at 7.30 am on day 3. took my clothes with me ready for my 10-day stay. My partner came with me and waited in my private room, while I went for my op everything was great. Felt so looked after. My operation went fantastic, woke up and couldn't believe it was done and over. No pain or feeling groggy. Spent 2 days in intensive care, and had me out of bed after a few hours. Dr aurimas came to see me and told me his findings after doing the replacement surgery. Also, a physiotherapist came to see me VAINIUS (Mr V for short) to tell me what the plan would be, up in the rehabilitation unit. So day 3 moved to my own private room again on another floor where I stayed while having rehabilitation in the gym. the room was brilliant tea/coffee/a kettle/a large fridge, and even milk provided. TV had endless channels, like Netflix, u.tube, and films, . Meals were lovely, all freshly prepared, nothing frozen, and plenty of choice for both breakfast, lunch, tea. My physio was done twice a day, and MR V came to make sure I was OK to walk there, And after 3 days I could walk to the gym on 2 crutches. He gave me exercises to do, while supervision was given. And built up each day what we did. After my morning session, I had a full leg massage which was amazing. (Thank you LETA) so was my leg compression + tens simulation every morning before going to the gym. On leaving the clinic after 9 days,I was overwhelmed by how much progress I had achieved. Mr V gave me a set of exercises to follow and said don't hesitate to contact me if I have any questions or problems, DR AURIMAS will do a follow-up phone call after 8 weeks to see how I am. JUST LIKE TO THANK EVERY MEMBER OF STAFF WHO LOOKED AFTER ME ON MY JOURNEY AMAZING, FANTASTIC, THANK YOU ALL XXX
