Hi Gents, just returned from Poland on Sat where I had DR Baranski perform Lipo and gland removal. Obviously there is currently still alot of swelling, but already I can tell there is a noticeable difference.
I found the whole trip/experience pretty pleasant to be honest, despite the powercuts!
Landed in Berlin last Wed(LPool to Berlin<>£40), Richard the Taxi driver was right there when I came through the airport.
Short trip to Sublice, about 45 mins(60Euro) and the Euro Kalski(25Euro with no breakfst).
Not a great deal to do there so stopped in watching Eurosport.
Thursday - Richard picked me up and took me to the clinic at 8.30am, which was just down the road but only cost a couple of euros.
The whole exp at the clinic was top notch. Was taken to a room where I waited about an hour before David(an English speaking anaesth) took me through to meet the Dr and his wife. They talked me through what I was hoping to achieve and what the procedure consisted of. I then went through some paper work and paid(1750 Euro).
Went back to room where I was bought some trousers/top/stockings etc to put on for the op. About 1/2 hr later I was taken to the theatre and laid down. General An. and I was gone.
Woke up later with a nurse looking after me. Unfortunately they had a power cut later that night but as I was still full of general anaesthetic I slept through anyway. Power returned in the morning.
Dr Baranski and David came to see me Fri morning and fitted me with a compression vest and then I was off out. Actually in no pain at all. Spent the day shopping and went over the border into Germany. Came back to the clinic for tea and then watched TV for the rest of the night.
Taxi picked me up to take me to the airport Sat am.
All in all, just wanted to thank you guys for sharing your experiences, without them I wouldn't have dared do it and I can say that from my experience its def worth the money and great service.
