Travel to USA after knee replacement

I wouldn’t
I should think medical insurance for USA would be high

Co-incidentally, on another group chat, someone who had a TKR , was saying that it was 10 months now since she had the op and she is still healing. So, if I were you, I would not make any travel plans just yet. Sorry for being a damp squid😂

'About a year to recover' I was told. I should think the travel alone would be quite uncomfortable, even with wheelchair assistance. How long would the hip replacement take to heal?

sounds a bonkers idea to me.

How long is the flight? If only to East coast that's about 6 hours. I had a longer flight than that at five months after my first TKR. We booked extra leg room seats and airport assistance (excellent). I could walk around in the flight and all went well. Airport assistance on the other side whisked me through passport control etc. That's just the flight though. What will you need to consider while in the states?

Given you know a hip replacement is needed it seems doubtful an insurer would include cover for it. I'd stay at home.

Why would you need insurance for a potential hip replacement? Is she going to live permanently in US? If just holiday she could probably list osteoarthritis and take it from there.
