I am currently thinking about surgery in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.  I fully understand that Vietnam is a third world country.  At the same time, I also know that this forum has a bad reputation. 

However, since I am Japanese, surgery can only be performed in countries that have Japanese translations.  The only countries that have Japanese interpreters are Vietnam, Armenia and Dr. Donghoon Lee.

 My first candidate was Dr. Parihar, Dr. Giotikas.  Greece was removed as a candidate because she saw information that the quality of physical therapy was not good.  As for Dr. Parihar, surgery is probably difficult because I can not speak English well.  I want to do surgery with Dr. Donghooo but he is too expensive to do surgery on my budget.

 So I decided to do surgery in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.  It seems that there are two hospitals performing CLL in Vietnam.  It is Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.  I saw an article that said that the bad reputation was the hospital in Hanoi.  Is the hospital in Ho Chi Minh City also dangerous?  I want to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for your opinion.  Are you not satisfied with Dr Quynh's hospital?

Hi guys!

Has anyone of you guys done the surgery or still planning to do it. I have been depressed with my current height Surgery in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and obssessed with the idea of having the surgery 24/7 and for months.

I'm a Vietnamese living in HCMC but intend to go to HN to have the surgery too (I have done research about both areas and myself have flown to HN, had a consultation with the surgeon, and met some patients in person)

Since there are very few members having their surgeries in Vietnam in this forum(I know many Vietnamese people do it, but they do not share their diaries here) I feel like a lone wolf in my upcoming journey. IF YOU GUYS HAVE HAD OR ARE PLANNING TO HAVE THE SURGERY IN VIETNAM, MAYBE WE CAN CREATE A GROUP AND KEEP IN TOUCH. IF SO, THERE MAY BE MUCH I CAN DO AS I'M A LOCAL.

Hi,
Thank you for the info. Would you please let me know where you found these 2 pieces of information (severe infection + bad pain management)?

From the patients I've spoken to, including males and females:
* Some said they were in extreme pain at first then the pain was little or inexistent. Others said they felt pain throughout the entire process, however it was generally bearable. There were some nights they couldn't sleep though.
* The same problems for all of them was the inconvenience of wearing the devices and depression/ boredom of prolonged inactivity.

Regarding infections, there were two people I know having infections at the pin sites (I don't know about the others). How would you rate the severity of pin site infections? (I mean is it very dangerous?)
