Accomodation share June-Sep at Athens Dr. Giotikas

Edit Post

Fellas,
I’m undergoing CLL with Dr. Giotikas in June. Just give me a shout if anyone is willing to share accomodation with me for 3 months. I have already booked one wheel chair accessible apartment.

I’ve paid €2400 for 89 days (June 7 - Sep 4)

Great!! If you like I can send you the link, maybe check availability?!

For anyone wondering, yes I’ll be doing Stryde for Femur, and will be making a diary to help other prospective CLL’ers. Current height 171cm, hoping to achieve +7.5cms if body allows. Genetic / racial background is Indian, male 28

Unless there are other Dr. Giotikas patients who have surgery & post their experience before June, I anticipate your experience to be the first drop of water before a waterfall of patients descend upon Dr. Giotikas for STRYDE lengthening.

Anything and everything is possible in life, but I would be shocked if Dr. Giotikas doesn't turn out to be the premier surgeon for limb lengthening on the European continent. Leaving Dr. Betz, Dr. Guichet, Dr. Monegal & Dr. Pilli with the uninformed sheep of patients waiting to be butchered by their hands.

Please take the time to post some videos of your experience. Nothing is more authentic than first person video footage. Anyone can write fake details, anyone can post fraudulent x-rays, anyone can post manipulated photos, video reigns supreme.

Thanks Leggs, I’ll try my best to post videos and photos. Happy to help!!

Quote from: champion90 on April 28, 2019, 10:21:20 AMLeapforlife I would also like to plan the surgery with Dr. Giotikas, could you tell me the exact address of where they will operate? to find a nearby accommodation .. and if the accommodation you found is nearby .. thank you
Will you also face all this on your own or will you be accompanied by a friend or family member? Why else should you have made arrangements with the Giotikas team at home, isn't it?
Thanks
Andrea

Too easy Andrea. From what I know so far Dr. Giotikas performs surgery at Athens BJR hospital (44, Vas Konstantinou Av), but it’s the rehabilitation center that you need to be staying close to, because you’ll be going there every 2nd day for PT / pool therapy. Rehabilitation center is in Kallethea, and any accomodation within 4-5kms is recommended by hospital (no compulsion however). Mine is 4km from rehab center. I’ll be on my own, with hired home Aid for few days.
My best wishes to you!!

Hi, my apologies to everyone who had been wanting to read my upcoming diary. I have decided to pull out of surgery due to personal reasons. Wouldn’t be doing this for next couple of years.
My best wishes to all
