What the three weeks actually look like
From sending your first medical scans to your fit-to-fly clearance.
Before you fly
Reports and a surgeon’s opinion
Send your X-rays and medical history. Within 24–48 hours you get a named surgeon’s written opinion and a costed plan from each hospital you shortlist.
Day 1–2
Arrival and tests
Airport pickup, hotel check-in and hospital consultation. Blood work, ECG, anaesthesia clearance and a fitness review are completed the same or next day.
Day 3
Surgery
The operation takes 60–90 minutes per joint. You are moved to your private room the same day and stood up with support within 24 hours.
Day 4–7
Walking with physio
Twice-daily physiotherapy in the ward. Most patients walk with a frame by day two after surgery and manage stairs before discharge.
Day 8–21
Recovery and review
You stay near the hospital in a serviced hotel with outpatient physio, then a final review, stitch removal and fit-to-fly clearance before you travel home.

Questions patients ask before they book
Essential details on payments, visa processing, language and post-operative flight permissions.
Is atrial fibrillation life-threatening?+
Atrial fibrillation isn’t considered a life-threatening arrhythmia. However, if episode of arrhythmia is prolonged, there is a risk of blood clot formation which can lead to stroke. In some cases, some sort of medications that prevent blood clots from forming is recommended.
Can arrhythmia be cured without surgery?+
Cryoablation is a safe method of treating the most common irregular heartbeats (or arrhythmias) in both adults and children, with less chances of complications than other treatments.
What will happen if arrhythmia is not treated?+
If not treated, cardiac arrhythmia can damage the brain, heart, or other organs. This may lead to life-threatening stroke, cardiac arrest, or heart failure. In cardiac arrest, the heart suddenly stops beating, leading to death if it is not treated immediately.
Can cardiac arrhythmia get better on its own?+
Heart arrhythmia may sometime go away on its own. However, if you see any symptoms that go along with arrhythmia, you must get it checked out as soon as possible.
