So I got the surgery on my left leg yesterday, I will start from the time I got admitted to the hospital until now..
I got admitted to my room and was pretty nervous about the surgery but I realised I’m going to do this no matter what! After that tried to sleep and one of the staff told me I need to be ready at 8:00 am and do a shower with antiseptic. In the morning I got the fluid, took shower with it before the surgery and after that I got to the operation room where I got my anesthesia first and after that I just fell asleep and woke up a few times ..
They rolled me over to the icu for observation and I didn’t felt any pain because of the anesthesia..
And after a few hours the pain finally came and it was hard enough to not let me fall asleep, feels like a huge pressure combined with big ache on my upper tibias, also every time I tried to move I’ve felt like my knee is being pulled out.. but I asked for pain killers and they helped me to fall asleep, that was the first night, then when I woke up in the morning I felt ok small pain like 3/10 and they took me to my room and did some exercises with the physio, after that I just fell asleep for like 7-8 hours (took my first oral painkillers in before)..
I’m the evening dr parihar came to see me and he was kind of surprised when he heard that I had pain despite the epidural.. but I told him I’m good now
I will keep updating after the surgery on my other leg 🦵

So for the first question, if u a foreigner dr parihar doesn’t restrict u, only Indian patients are required to have their family.
Second question- u can have physio at your home/hotel
And about the cost- about 15k usd for surgery and other stuff u do like ct x rays and other things..
Right now I feel ok, got my catheter and dressings off today but something very hard happened to me in the morning, while I was doing my physio I tried to take a few steps and I got my spinal headache very bad and felt like I’m actually passing out, losing control over my senses and they just let me lay on the bed and after a few moments I just laughed at it, felt like drugs!!😂
But pain wise I’m fine, I think I’m one of the lucky ones who have pain only after surgery but days after are like 0/10, just feeling stiff but not actual pain if I don’t move..
But one thing that did hurt me was the pinsite cleaning with the gauzes, when the dr taught me how to clean my self the pain went from like 1/10 to something like 7/8-10, very bad I was breathing heavily while cleaning the pinsites, but u just need to hold the pain for 11 pinsites once a day and u are good

1. I think u should ask the dr if he allows that because every case has its own unique conditions
2. They charging me 2800 rs per night
3.haven’t started lengthening yet, I have my right leg surgery in 3 days and after that I will probably start with the left leg lengthening 0.75 mm for some time and maybe after that I will up to 1 mm, depending on my condition
I want to stay in India until march 4-5, so I plan on stopping lengthening anywhere from 20-23 February so I will have enough time before frame removal, and then I will go back to my home to consolidate

What do u mean by having a diary? This is my diary I have only here in the ll forum
And currently at the hospital gonna have my second surgery in 3 days, that’s gonna be hard, today I got to do my first pin site care and it’s a lot of time and pain because my legs are so stiff and there’s some pins it’s very hard to reach and that’s tough
The hotel have breakfast only and a restaurant in the first floor- u need to pay for the restaurant meals if u want, breakfast included

So I’ve done my second surgery on the right leg..
Night before the surgery two of parihar’s fellows came and greeted me, and one of them made me a bit anxious because she said it can be stressful,painful and difficult and I knew that but when someone says it again it can make u a bit more anxious..
So couldn’t go to sleep, but after a few hours I chilled a bit and had 4 hour sleep..
woke up by “mama” (caretaker of hospital) to antiseptic bath and he washed me totally nked but I got used to it and it’s nothing to shame about, and after two hours they took me to the surgery room but this time it was a bit different, different nurses and fellows and different anestheatic dr, which tried to put it in my lower back and it gutted very much because she did it like 6 times,and in the first surgery it wasn’t like that.
So I got numb but had a vomit sensation and headache with heavy breathing, very anxious and they tried to calm me down and after a few minutes I was good, got to sleep and surgery began..
Hated that feeling of being pulled and hammered but it’s not painful so it’s fine.
Got released to the icu where I didn’t had pain actually until now because of anesthesia, but I think it will wear off soon and I will have a bit of pain but it’s ok because I’m the first leg, my pain and swelling got away the next morning so it means even if it will wear off soon, it would still be a little less painful than the first one..
I will try to update as much as I can and will try to upload the photons when Il be back at the hotel with Wi-Fi .

Man this forum is dying.. I thought this diary would get much more interest but I guess not..
I will update every now and then on my condition, not more than that
So yesterday discharged from the hospital, was pretty smooth got on a xl Uber, nice driver who helped me, hotel staff really nice helped me and carried me inside my room, gave them 500 rs tip because that’s how India works..
Feeling great actually, no pain in the legs, sometimes little tingling and shockwaves for a second but it’s ok, had a great night yesterday slept for 12 hours with no problems, currently at 0.5 cm at my left leg and 1 mm at my right leg

Yeah I met a patient that done the surgery before me, great guy and we became lengthening buddies for a short while but he’s back to his country right now, finished and looks well.
I heard also that an Indian patient who’ve done precice femur has done the surgery on his tibias a few days ago, tibia lon, but I’m not sure because I didn’t saw him and sometimes the language barrier can be problematic because we can’t understand each other
