Medical travel, day by day
Day 3 after surgery abroad. What can you actually do today?
Clinic sites cover the procedure. Travel blogs cover the city. We cover the 5 to 10 days in between: the sun, water, exertion, heat, alcohol and flying rules for each day, and the sights, tours and food that fit them.
Rules with sources
Every activity rule links to a published aftercare sheet or a medical body's guidance, and tells you to confirm with your surgeon.
A plan for every day
Four things you can do and two to skip for each day of your stay, with the reason, plus where to eat when chewing is hard.
For your companion too
The hammam, the food tour and the beach day your companion can enjoy while you rest.
