Just wanted to give an update. It has been a crazy stress filled couple of months. I did have the surgery and I can not speak high enough about the healthcare I received here in Buenos Aires. There was never a point I did not fully trust my doctor as he and his team are amazing. It has been and...

I have been asked here many times what my heritage is...I think people in general are just interested in each other and not concerned in a negative way. I find it refreshing not to be lumped under a flag and have someone show interest in me as a person.

windows recently did an update on my computer and skype has not worked properly since. I read that many people having same issue. I can use skype from my tablet and still works fine but forget trying on my laptop.

I have two cents to add. I can not stress the importance of savings. Do not pick up and just leave thinking life will suddenly improve, you have to plan, plan and plan some more. Even though I make my income outside the country it is not easy to get it here and talking from some very recent...

I was invited to dinner by a local businessman, he mentioned the restaurant was in my neighborhood so I looked it up......I am pretty happy I did because it was a swingers club and I might not have been able to hide the shock on my face had I arrived without that knowledge. No, I did not go nor...

I am in the same boat wondering how 100 pesos will last me until Monday lol

Merry Christmas to you as well

I pray I can say your same words soon! My wish was that I had gotten health insurance as soon I arrived here but I never imagined this would happen. I have already seen that doctors are different here. I had one doctor give my cell number to another and share my situation with him and he called...

I have a feel good to add to this. Although I am far from home where my friends and family are I have been blessed with kindness from strangers. Little things that seem meaningless in the moment but put a smile on your face and make you feel good.

one thing I would say, is anyone that is coming here to stay doný lag, get your insurance in place or file your paperwork for you DNI at least to avoid an otherwise avoidable situation ...my two cents

I would pay the highest rate they wanted to charge if it meant I would be covered but have not found one. I only have a few days at most to figure this out. Had my 2nd and 3rd opinion today. My situation is a little different, I can do pain but there are other issues that will be forever if I...

thanks! worried about the cost now then I will focus on facing what is ahead. I had surgery years ago and it lasted me this long so I am grateful for that. Soon this will be a part of my past :)

Trust me Matisba, I so wish that was my situation jajaja...I am no fan of surgery but thank you kindly for your two cents, much appreciated and you are very right.

Thank you for the name of your doctor. I am working on opinions and need to do that quickly.

yes unfortunately I do know it is major league :( but the alternative is not a pleasant one. It is not something I am able to wait on. I will check out the forum thanks.

Ok expats I am back again with my questions. Any of you that have had surgery here in BA, specifically spine surgery. I could not get insurance in time so I need to pay myself. The hospital will not have estimate ready until next week which leave me little time to find then get the money here to...

Ceviche you crack me up, BTW BA men are no easier to deal with. Thank you all for the advice, yes Lucha54 please snd me the number. I ended up going to Aleman emergency and did find some relief with an MRI next week but I do need to nail down some insurance fast since it appears surgery might...

ok perfect, I will go first thing in the morning. Does anyone know if there is a waiting period or is it immediate coverage?

I know this might sound crazy but...the time has come that I need to purchase private health insurance and take myself to the doctor. With my limited Spanish I am having some struggles trying to desipher plans. If anyone lives near me in Recoleta and have spare a few minutes over coffee and give...

ah my neck of the woods. If I am free I will walk up the street and join
