Irish Band prices are way too high!

I have been contacted by a few people about my decision to go to Birmingham for my surgery.....I was only away for one night in hospital and was home without anyone knowing I had gone......I was called by the nurse when I got home after being certified fit to fly by my surgeon in the UK.

I paid E6995 for my operation in the UK with one years free after care. I could not believe that the Blackrock Clinic just wanted E380 just for a consultation and then it would be E12k for the surgery.....the Galway Clinic was E15k and then I would have to pay for aftercare.....

I believe that Irish hospitals and surgeons are deliberately frightening people into not going abroad .....I had the best of care in the UK and better care than I had in Ireland when I had my gall bladder out in 2007. I would recommend heading to the UK....if you want to get the operation but have been unable due to inflated Irish prices....seems Irish prices need to be aspirated

You should have tried Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. His price is very reasonable and you receive the best service. He and his staff are very reliable and professional. Check him out.

I think traveling to the UK from Ireland is easy you are less than 40 mins on a flight and have English speaking staff who you can research on the GMC lists.....and the follow up clinics in Dublin after the surgery are very well run
