Hello!
I am currently waiting on receiving the contract from Dr. Aghayev tomorrow morning. Then signing it before wiring and having my bank confirm with the clinic in Istanbul that the money has been sent.
Assuming the contract arrives, I will be able to send the money across to him tomorrow before travelling on sunday the 3rd, alongside a friend whom is coming with me. Friday is holidays in Norway, so I will not be able to garner a confirmation of initiated transfer then.
After which I will meet Dr. Aghayev on the 4th of May and then my surgery at 6th of May.
This is where I get off, ladies and gentlemen.
Though I will remain with the forum and share my story with the world as many others have.
Thank you for letting us know about your surgery date & what’s happening over the next week for you @Rehri. We always hate to see our members move on because you are all like family, but we absolutely celebrate when it’s because symptoms are gone, & you’ve been able to start living again!
I’ve put your surgery date on my calendar & will pray for you that day in particular.
I recall @Henrik got some publicity after his ES surgery. I’m so glad he & @Lenaj have been proactive in getting the word out about ES in your country. I hope that one day there will also be surgeons who also do IJV decompressions.
Hello, Anita! I live in Canada, and I had a unilateral styloidectomy and C1 TP shave surgery done on Apr 16th by Dr. Aghayev in Istanbul.
For payment, I took the USD sum as cash, as it was 30% less than doing a wire transfer. It is quite risky, but I couldn’t afford to spend that 30% extra.
From a legal perspective, I had to submit a form at Toronto airport declaring that I had that much cash on me. I think it wasn’t required because no one stopped me and asked for it, but given that I didn’t want any trouble, I submitted it.
From a logistics perspective, I kept the sum in a small money bag tied to my person at all times.
