In January 2024 I had SRS using PPT with laparoscopic technique at Kamol Hospital in Bangkok. The surgery was performed by Dr. Kamol. Three months post surgery I had a checkup with my gynaecology and she said the result was one of the best she had seen and that I have healed well with no complications. My experiences at Kamol hospital are mixed at best. The surgery result is amazing and I cannot complain regarding that. The pre and post surgery care at the hospital, however, was not so great. Information leading up to surgery was very sparse. I arrived in Bangkok Sunday. I was informed that the surgery was to take place at 10 AM Wednesday. On Monday I had checkups, which went fine. I had a meeting with Dr. Kamol. Communication wasn’t the best, but he had a translater present. I was informed to check in Tuesday. Once I got checked in, I was left to my self in the Hospital and I didn’t know why I had to be there this early. I had to go look for some staff who could tell me what was going to happen. I was not informed that I had to have cleaned my bowels. On the day of surgery I was very tired and exhausted from not having any food intake and the bowel cleaning. An hour before surgery (which was moved to 1pm) the staff arrived with a lot of legal documents for me to sign. I was not capable at the time to read through the paperwork. Some of which stated that any mixup needed would be covered at my own expenses. I gambled and signed the paper. I was not in a state where I could make an informed decision and the hospital should have giving me the paperwork in advance to read through. When I woke up from surgery I was told that “Surgery OK”. I was in quite some pain on the first day and the staff did not administer enough pain medicin despite multiple requests. I could not feel the morphine at all. The staff in the observation room were sleeping and got mad at me when I woke them to get assistance. Throughout the whole post surgery care I felt the nurses didn’t listen and never once informed me about what was going to happen. Every time I asked about concerns they would say “It’s normal”. This also happened when I had my kateter removed and I raised the concern that I didn’t think I could empty my bladder. They said “It’s normal”. A day later I was rushed to the hospital and had more than a litre in my bladder. They had forgotten to give me antiinflamatory medication when I was signed out.

If you decide to go to Kamol Hospital I would recommend contacting Jaime Lee (WhatsApp: +66 65 839 0418) and have her be your agent/liaison. I hired her during my stay and she was an incredible help. She talked to the hospital staff for me and she knows what is “normal” and what is a concern. She helped me a lot through the goodness of her heart. I then decided to hire her as I wanted to gratify her for her work.
