Just ready to book the flights when AHS scheduled the second hip. The thing we liked about the clinic is it's not third world! It's Germany!
Definitely Germany sounds like a better bet than Mexico, or India, but keep in mind that a certain percentage of ALL surgical procedures have post op complications. Those cheap, quick surgeries are a great option, but a medical repatriation flight back home, in the case of a complication, can cause some pretty serious financial concerns.
