Hi Lara and other members of the forum:

I am from Atlanta, Georgia, USA.聽 I just joined this 大咖福利影院 or forum and was wondering if you/anyone could tell me about India.聽 I did live there for 3 months in Ranchi, Jharkhand.聽 I am thinking of going to Mumbai for 6 months.聽 I am also considering getting a sleeve gastrectomy (which is not a gastric band or lap band) - it's much less invasive.聽 Do you think you could help me by checking out if this hospital (which I may go to) is a good one?聽 I am scared to death to have a procedure done there (although I know there are excellent doctors there).聽 I was engaged to a Surgeon from India (but he was an ENT, not a Bariatric Surgeon).聽 This is the place (copied and pasted, below):

DR..SARANG DEGLOORKAR.
M.B.B.S.(MUM) M.S.(MUM)
GENERAL, LAPROSCOPIC & BREAST CANCER聽 SURGEON
BHAKTIVEDANTA HOSPITAL , MIRA ROAD聽 (E)THANE
MEMBER ASSOCIATION OF SURGEONS OF INDIA (ASI)
MEMBER OF INDIAN ASSOCIATION OF GASTROINTESTINAL & ENDOSCOPIC SURGEONS ( IAGES)
MEMBER SOCIETY OF ENDOSCOPIC & LAPROSCOPIC SURGEONS OF INDIA ( SELSI)
MOBILE NO : +91-9323289393
E-MAIL: sarangthakur[at]yahoo.com , sarangthakur[at]gmail.com

This doctor will be having one of the best surgeons to come to this hospital to do the surgery for me.聽 I am scared to death.聽 How do I know that this is a fit hospital?聽 Can you help me?聽聽Also.......if I chose to stay in India for 6 months........do you have any advice as to where I should live?聽 I have a Master's in Journalism and want to do some writing while there, but also want this surgical procedure done.聽 It's non-invasive and the recovery time is quick.聽 I am a single woman with no children.聽 I want to be safe, feel safe and live in a safe and good area, without breaking my piggy bank.聽 What is the average cost to rent an apartment and to live there?聽 Say..........what do you pay monthly?聽 I have my own house in America and have to keep paying my bills here, so I don't need to live in the lap of luxury while I am in India.聽 It can be a small studio apartment or something inexpensive.聽 I just care about safety and the area.

You all could be so helpful to me if you have the time to share with me.聽 I really appreciate it.聽 My e-mail is:聽 Terrilovescats@yahoo.com (not my professional e-mail).聽 You can post on here or e-mail me directly.聽 Thanks so much!

The Apollo chain of hospitals, several of which are accredited by The Joint Commission International, would be my . For a good experience I would recommend Bangalore.

Thank you for your input and suggestions.聽 I will take them into much consideration.聽 The Indian people themselves know their country better then anyone and it's invaluable to a foreigner to hear their recommendations.聽 Much appreciated!聽 Bless you!聽聽聽
