Conducted the surgery last Tuesday in Saudi’s Arabia with doctor al sayyad very good doctor, i should expect to lengthen from 162cm to 168cm. First 4 days post surgery were hell from the catherter to the leg pain to constant vomitting from the medicine. As of today and yesterday I have calmed down a bit and I’m expecting to be released today hopefully
Hope you getting better . How much does it cost ? Any pictures ?
Thank you
Cost me around 90k usd, pain is a lot better now but struggling with depression since I can’t walk and have been stuck in my room for around a month now. Also been forced to wear an ankle fixator to avoid ballerina foot which is torture
And exactly photos of what do you need
Being indoors and not being able to go out is the real battle. Just keep reminding your self how comfortable you will be in you own skin once it done.
Do you have family or friends that stay with you? Or you decided to do this alone?
Yeah I stayed for there for the first two weeks and now I’ve been in my country with my family for 3 weeks. The constant need for help with every little thing and the dependency for little things is annoying as hell. And the thought of having to stay in a bed for another 2 months is devistating. But as you said the couple of inches are what keeps me going
I know how you feel, even though am doing one leg at a time, I still get seen as less abled and need help from others every now and then. Very happy to hear that you have family support. Also even though you are relying on others alot, it is only temporary 
What is the first think you plan to do once it's over?
do keep us posted, I look forward to reading your diary.
each week we discover one new doctor doing the surgery
and 90k USD, seriously ?

I know this Doctor he is from my city his name Mohamed Alsayyad and he is a very good doctor but his lengthening surgery is super expensive.
The more doctors the better. Hopefully the more doctors doing this surgery the more competitive they'll become which will help to diminish costs.
90K USD in Saudi Arabia is incredibly expensive,not to mention the country is considered dangerous for westerners
