Surgery with Dr Bierstedt
Surgery with Dr Bierstedt scheduled for Aug 27th. Thanks for all the posts as it has made me more confident in my decision. I have been on the fence for a long time and finally decided to go for it. I also like the rehab considered in the cost and that they come to your hotel room.

Gman, just to be clear, PT does not come to your hotel room. The hotel is adjacent to Medicos and connected by bridge on the 2nd floor. You go to Medicos each day, appointments are scheduled between 8:00 and 4:00. It is considered if not the best one of the best rehab facilities in Germany. It is so much better than being stuck in your hotel room, you were just stuck in the hospital for 6 days. Getting up each morning and taking part of rehab lets you know that you are getting your life back. You get to share the energy and camaraderie of others working toward their goals.
