5.5 Cm Femurs with Dr. Giotikas and G-Nail.

Quote from: RB on August 15, 2021, 05:24:24 AMAt the beginning of lengthening when the nail is at its stiffest it feels like a long way to rotate your leg. But when the pain decreases and the nail loosens up, its a very easy motion to complete. For example after 3-3.5cm it only took me about 2 minutes to click per leg.

No problem man, glad to be able to help.

Were you aware of anyone requiring assistance to help them click the nail to lengthen?I have read some patients were put to sleep to extend the nail.

Hey guys, just arrived in Athens. I will update in the next few days, I'm quite tired right now. Standing for hours with lots of people in airport and bus are quite a challenge because of my height dysphoria lol. The apartment I got is quite nice. The only problem is that the elevator door may be a little small (for whelchair), but I have to check that.

Lets go! Only a couple more days until you can start curing that dysphoria!

Should only be a problem for the first couple days until you start walking on crutches.

Thank you for your posts.

What's your budget for this surgery please?

Also I completely understand with your fixation and subsequent depression with being unable to reach a goal. Until now that is!

Around 47.000 euros for surgery, 2.700 for 3 months in Athens (appartment for me and gf), and a bit more for daily expenses, flights, etc etc. So maybe 52.000 or so.

Good luck!

Not while I was there. But I have heard about patients in the past who had to click under general. It seems to be quite rare though.
