Senior Member Prof101 Posted July 12, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 12, 2022 Two unrelated questions in one topic. Going to Madrid for HT. 1. First - I am debating between applying for Schengen tourist visa vs medical visa. I think both are legit in this case. I am afraid the latter (medical) will cause some delays as they are asking for medical notes from my home country and it is unclear what they want. I do have the note from the surgeon office in Europe. Any experiences here? 2. I am a stomach sleeper and very nervous about post-op. I would like to find a hotel with a recliner bed where I can sleep on my back at a 45 degree angle. This is what is usually recommended for the first few days. I therefore wonder how one would go about trying to find hotels that have such beds? Not sure stacking pillows can do the job as neatly. Niche questions but hopefully someone has some experience with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 12, 2022 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2022 I don’t know about the type of visa, perhaps someone in the EU can help. But as for sleeping watch this video 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member deeznuts Posted July 12, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 12, 2022 i thought they automatically give you the schengen visa? not that ive tried to get one yet... going to couto or lorenzo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NARMAK Posted July 12, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 12, 2022 OP, you should probably check the Visa stuff out for your country but sometimes just going to a country even on a tourist visa and having it done shouldn't cause an issue. The sleeping position thing is imo easily resolved. Contact the hotels you're interested in and ask if they have a single seater sofa or recliner. My hotel room had one with a foot rest and i used that to sleep with post-op in an upright position. Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted July 13, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 13, 2022 Please tell me you’re going to Couto and not Lorenzo…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Prof101 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 14, 2022 Thanks Melvin for the video. It is Couto, not Lorenzo. Ok I will contact a hotel then. I was thinking of an Airbnb so not to have to run many people/discretion. But I really feel like I need a recliner in addition to the airplane pillow.

Lorenzo runs a mill. 4 patients per day, techs only doing extractions (now even doing implantations). He’s the priciest doctor in Spain. btw how did you get in so quickly with couto?

I was just lucky (if it turns out well). Managed to get a consult within 3 months and surgery date within 5 months ... frankly I am worried, even if he s a top doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
