1.) PRIOR TO RETURN HOME: In the event that you have a second-look laparoscopy, you will be required to stay in the hospital for three days post-op; and then you will have a post-op check up with Dr. Korell.

You may remain in the apartment until you are scheduled to leave Germany!! Make sure you have given yourself plenty of time to heal! For someone, who has just had abdominal surgery, the flight back home can be a long time to sit!! You may want to stay in Germany a few extra days so that you will be more comfortable on the long trip home.

On your return flight home, you will again have to adjust to the time difference between Germany and the country you are from.

In order to be able to do this, however, you need to get a VERIFICATION SLIP from Dr. Korell stating that you are a newly post-op patient and that you MAY need special care on the flight home. They were VERY accommodating to Mary and me on United!! They even had a wheelchair waiting for Mary at the terminal. If you decide to go to Germany for surgery, and need a wheelchair, use it!!!

Once you are back home, plan to spend a couple of days of just resting...to help your body heal and adjust to the time-difference.

Have a safe trip and enjoy Europe while you are there!! You can't beat the hotel rates nor the fact that you are going to return home WELL!
