Just thought id provide information on the rough amount that you will need to get through the process when doing it with dr mitkovic.


- food (70 euros/ week)
- accommodation in hotel (500 euros/month recommended) or private apartment (250 euros/month max incl bills)
- surgery 9300 euros (includes 10 day hospital stay )
- transportation to and from hospital for changing of bandages and trips to x ray place (5 euros/ week
- x rays - 1 every 2 weeks during lengthening and 1 a month after that (50 euros per x ray of both legs and includes a cd with measuring tool to accurately measure distraction gap)

Total
For 7 months stay (staying in hotel)

9300(surgery) + 1960(food) + 3500(accommodation) + 500(x rays) + 140(transportation)

= 15,400 euros

For 7 months (staying in private apartment) 15,400 - 1,750
 
= 13,650 euros

To be safe add another 2000 euros to these totals just incase you encounter a rare complication which requires an addition surgery

Wheelhair 250 euros and walker 60 euros - this money will be refunded to you when you return them

By the information I've given people will be able to work out what to add for each extra month probably allow 600/ month extra you stay includes everything you can think of.. .. I researched a lot before I left and pretty much what I worked out is similar to what it's been..made sure I had quite a bit extra tho just to be safe.. It doesn't matter where u go it's going to add up.. U need to eat right lol.. To be honest I think less than 16,000 euros including everything is a bargain.. I came with about 21,000 euros.. I had a complication which was my own fault which set me back another 1,200 euros.. I've paid for my accommodation up until mid June and I have a bit over 6,100 euros left. I've been here 3 months for another 5 months here I'll need another 2500 euros( as I've already paid for the next months rent) that'll leave me with 3600 euros(8 months stay).. If I need to stay longer I have plenty there.. Also if I have to stay longer I will stay somewhere much cheaper as I'll be completely mobile by then.. Considering I've had a rare complication I figure 17,500 for 7 months (allowing 2000 extra for unexpected complications) is plenty.. 600/month for every extra month... I wouldn't  come here with anything less than 20000 euros to be honest.. This way you will completely 100% safe with money left over at the end..

Sorry I meant I have 6900 euros left so I should still have 4400 left after 8 months... I can't share those details where u flew from as I am extremely private.. But assuming u r from England as you said ur currency is £ than it would cost you anywhere from 100 to 200 pounds from there.. It's only 2 hour flight I think
