Hi everyone! So I've been thinking about getting a procedure done in Korea for a while now, and I'm finally getting serious about it. But honestly? The whole logistics of it is stressing me out. I'm trying to figure out how much time I actually need to take off work, how long to stay for recovery, flights, accommodation... it all adds up so fast in my head.

For anyone who's done this before — how did you approach the budget planning? Like, did you book everything at once or stagger it? I'm trying to be realistic about costs without getting sticker shock, but I also don't want to cheap out on things like accommodation if I'm going to be recovering. And how many days did you actually end up needing? I keep reading different timelines and I'm not sure what's realistic for my situation.

I think I'm also just nervous about the unknown — like, what if something unexpected comes up and I need to stay longer? Has anyone had to adjust their plans last minute? I'm not looking for medical specifics, just want to hear from people who've been through the travel and budgeting side of this. Any tips on how you organized it all without losing your mind? 😅
