What the three weeks actually look like

From sending your first medical scans to your fit-to-fly clearance.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
