Yeah YourSpaceBoyfriend, it seems like that some doctors, when they meet you, have a sort glitter in their eyes, and if you come close to that glitter there are perhaps probabilities that you could glimpse a shape of a cash cow reflected. But this is the way it is.
LOL

LOL We don't know, I think it's between £7k to £10k

Yes, that's right! London is just MAD EXPENSIVE in every way from accommodation, food, transport, xrays, carer etc. I think while Milan is not English speaking, it'll be cheaper in the long run. Guichet is planning to live in London permanently from January onwards 
So he does plan to set up base in London over time and the hospital where he is at, Princess Grace, is one of the best.

I'm trying to figure out how much money I need to have saved for surgery with Dr. Guichet. I keep coming up with the figure of $90,000+ U.S. Dollars. Im basing this a lot on what you said plus my own calculations.
So as of today....
65,000 Euros = $70,500 U.S. Dollars for Surgery+PT+Check Ups
500-1,000 British Pounds = $630-1,250 U.S. Dollars Per Week for a helper
If I stay in London for 3-4 months (12-16 weeks) thats an extra $7,000-$15,000 U.S. Dollars for a helper on top of the $70,500 U.S. Dollars for surgery and PT.
This is where I really would like your input. How much more money should I factor in for accommodation, food, transportation, medication, and other miscellaneous items for 3-4 months living in London?
Hi there,
Yes, lemme try to do the math as closely as possible.
£55k for Guichet surgery, deposit, pre-op training and pre-op tests (if he doesn't change prices in 2017 that is)
£6k (£2k min per month) for 3 months' accommodation
£5k for transport, food, post-op tests, supplements and supplies (you'll be using Amazon a lot)
£1k for 2-3 first weeks' carer (should be enough)
Flight tickets
To save more money, come only 2 weeks before your surgery and do all your training and tests in your home town. You'll undoubtedly run into some compliance issues with Guichet since he's such a stickler for standardized everything but you'll save a bit there from coming later.
Most overseas people come 1 month before to do pre-op training and all their tests with Guichet. But that really adds up. Also, if you live closer to the gym and Harley St, you'll save more on transportation (but that's central London and it can get very expensive). There's a hotel on top of the gym called St Giles Hotel on Great Russell Street, it's £99 rack rate but if you can strike a deal with them for about 2 months, you might get away with saving on transport and possible food too if board can be included And you'll be less stressed out about getting to the gym every morning in office traffic. Living a little far away could add £50 to your taxi fare each day due to the traffic)
So $90k should be way adequate, that is without any complications and further surgeries like grand old me 
Let me know if I can help you fine tune your costs better, ok?

Thank you so much for breaking this down Unicorn! I hope Guichet doesn't increase his prices in 2017!
£75,000-£77,000 British Pounds = $94,000-$96,500 U.S. Dollars
I'm going to focus on having at least $100,000 U.S. Dollars just to be safe!
Hi, Unicorn. You have not been written for a while now, I was wondering if you're well. Hope you are. Write some updates when you can. Happy new year.

Hello Unicorn,
I loved reading your diary, as your writing style makes it informative and fun.
Now, me and many other readers are concerned about your state of health, as the latest news was not too positive and you have not been writing much lately :-)
