i'd contact bumrungrad hospital itself. they can assign you a doctor on staff. i've never heard any horror stories coming out of that hospital (now, there may be some, but i haven't heard of them).
i took my son there for getting his teeth fixed. the dentist we saw was fantastic. i know people who had their eyes done (they have since moved back to the uk) and were extremely happy with the results. my aunt consulted them for a few issues, but decided to stick with hong kong as it was easier logistically for her.

If you are considering a medical trip to Bangkok, you should also check out http://www.samitivejhospitals.com
Service at the same level or even better than Bumrungrad but at lower cost.
Kind of like Sanitorium vs Matilda in Hong Kong. You pay thru the nose at Matilda but you dont get much better than Sanitorium.

Thanks everyone for the tips. Will keep it in mind. I don't think we're done having children yet so I'll have to wait a little while but I think it's good for me to start saving and planning to do it because I have made really good strides in my health recently and this makes me think I "deserve" to have my tummy back in the condition it was once in--wish that there was a way to do that without a tummy tuck--I can get close with exercise and diet and it's definitely moving in that direction but to get rid of the bulge from my rather large pregnancies and the excess skin will require surgery, actually. Thanks again.
Thanka -- I had a full-body check-up at Bumrungrad, since it was so expensive in HK and my insurance doesn't cover it. The service was efficient and professional. I've also had several friends get operations there, both big and small, and one who has done long-term rehab. All have come back with good reports.
Some of the nurses may not have perfect English, but it is top-notch care for a fraction of HK prices.

I had mine done early 2010, almost 2 years ago by Dr. Hui in Mathilda (he's indeed in Bank of America tower). I had mine completely covered by insurance as there was a medical indication. I had a large (7 cm) separation between my abdominal muscles as a result of 2 pregnancies (I had twins the second time, they were born at 38 weeks + and weighed 7 kg combined). I also have a mesh placed since my abdominal muscles were completely ruined. I had major back problems and things have definitely improved over the past 2 years. It looks very very good, hardly any scarring. It was sooooo worth it, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanka2 You can pm me for more information. I know more than 5 people who had it done, and after care is also very good. I had no complications.
