Hi, my name is Natalie Fagbure from Nigeria. I came to India for the bunion removal surgery with the assistance of Joint Replacement Surgery Hospital India. I developed bunions that got progressively worse over a number of years. I noticed it was quite painful to walk on and my shoes weren’t quite fitting my feet properly. I went the hospital where the doctors asked for X-rays and after studying the reports asked to undergo this surgery. I didn’t want to get this surgery because of the lack of quality medical services and facilities back in Nigeria. Then my friend recommended your medical group in India, where she got assistance during her surgery. After listening to her experience, I decided to contact them. I received a call from them asking for my medical reports and a after a few days they send me their expert opinions. I also got the opportunity to discuss about the surgery via tele-conferencing. I was convinced with him and soon I gave them my consent to fly down to India. They helped us with the medical visas, travel and lodging arrangements. An official escorted us to an elegant lodging facility. The next day, we met the surgeon at the hospital. He was a very kind person and made me feel comfortable. The staff was caring and very friendly. My surgery was successful. Thank you so much for the wonderful care and concern I received during the entire trip. Your medical group has performed a marvellous job. Thank you! God  Bless You.

What to Expect Before Bunion Removal Surgery?

The bunion removal surgery is an outpatient procedure, which means once you are back to normal after the effects of local anaesthesia, you return home, however, you would take around 6 – 8 weeks for the complete recovery, while for the complete healing you may even need 4 to 6 months as well. During the first two weeks after the surgery, you are supposed to wear the surgical boost to give additional protection to your foot. Make sure you avoid making your feet and it stitches wet. After a few weeks, you would wear braces to get the right support to your feet while it finally gets healed. However, while you get the complete healing, you are not required to bear weight over your foot in your initial days. This has to be done gradually along with using crutches or a walker.
