Thanks and I will try to keep you all posted.  I am finding it so busy this week as I leave on the 25th and fly out on the 26th.  I have everything in order and got all my vitamines and things so I don't have to worry about them when I get back.  I am so excited!!!!!!

Flight is 600-900 I would think for San Deigo. You can play with dates to see which is the cheapest day to travel. The 5500 or whatever the cost for Dr Kelly is well worth getting your health back quicker then the 10-20 yr wait here in NS.

Dr Kelly is great.

My cost was $5,700 in November. i know some months are less expensive. It includes 2-3 nights at the hospital and 2 nights at the hotel for you and a companion. It includes all tests.I had to pay for my airfare. They pick you up and drop you off at the airport.

You don't need a doctors referral. You just call Dr. Kelly's office and they email you medical forms to fill out. you email them back. Dr. Kelly will approve you within days and you pick your date!

It is of course good if your GP approves because they do The follow up blood work.

Hi valleymom, I am happy for you :)  I am a brand new member and just starting my search for information.  If you have any advice , I'd love to hear .  The biggest question, is the cost of traveling to another country to have surgery . The wait time for N.S. is sooo outrageous !   I am 49 and do not want to wait 5 plus years :((   All the best to you !!  I will keep watch for your progress.  Take Care.
