It's worth asking if they can buddy you up with someone - a surgeon is a surgeon ... abroad in UK all the same. Just because you have surgery here in UK does not mean your surgeon is British, or your aftercare will be excellent.
My daughter had heart surgery and her 1st surgeon was Russian, the 2nd surgeon who operated the second time (to repair the mistakes the 1st one made) was Italian.
From my bypass my Surgeon was Chinese, and my aftercare was terrible! I had to constantly ring them to get my appointments, from the minute they had my money and I left the hospital the follow up service was really poor.
If my circumstances were different and I didn't have a disabled child I would have opted to save £4k and take my surgery abroad ... I just needed to be back caring for her within 2 days which overseas is not possible.
