So far in 1.5 years all I’ve got is a phone consultation with surgeon.
Not with a hip replacement but my wife had a laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis back in September in Athens. My honest advice is that if you can afford it go and turn it into a holiday. Another thing make sure you get a letter from your doctor stating that you need the surgery and cannot get it in Canada in a timely matter. You may and I say MAY be able to get ahs to cover it. They gave us the middle finger because the surgeon in Edmonton phoned to book a consultation the morning my wife was going in.
