Guichet wants me to get a Cybex testing...he said this may save me a month in Milan. Right now I'm filling out all of his paperwork and have to have the therapist who cleared me for this send him that too.
I'm hoping I can somehow do this for around 60K-65K tops...that will still leave me with just enough cash (don't want to touch my 401K) to look into buying a house in the next year or two.
I am planning on lengthening with Dr. Guichet next year as well. I sent him a message today for him to arrange me a date for a consultation in October since he is only available for consultations only in October for now.
Anyone doing LL with Guichet in the next few months?

If you send Dr. Guichet your payment 11 months in advance, then I believe you could probably get away with under 60k (barely). Otherwise, you are probably looking at 65k.
Does anyone know where I can get a Cybex test done in or around NYC? Dr. Guichet wants me to do this and then forward him the results of the test (since I told him I only want to be in Milan for 6 weeks). I just don't know of any Cybex testing facilities in the area. I've looked online and just can't find anything as of yet.
never mind, I found one right near where I work lol
I would like to know how much its gonna cost you after everything
It'll probably cost you about $70,000-$75,000 when all is said and done. You could probably get away with about $65,000 is you rent an apartment and don't go out much in Milan.
I'm currently "negotiating" with Guichet to avoid the whole isokinetic centre. I've seen many patients doing so much training beforehand and it seemed like it didn't help all that much for the actual surgery. Training after the surgery is a different story however

I think if you convert what ShyShy said was his grand total to USD, it comes to about $70K. But I believe ShyShy was in Milan longer and did the isokinetic center for 2 months.
However, I'm only planning on being in Milan for 6 weeks, and I'm also going to try and only do the isokinetic center for one month. I figure if I'm only doing the isokinetic center for one month, only renting a modest apartment for 6 weeks (possibly less, but probably 6 weeks), and don't go out much, I'm hoping I can somehow squeeze under $65K. To me, for a doctor of Guichet's caliber (and getting to avoid being in a wheelchair/recovering faster), I think that's worth it.
Since I've also consulted with Dr. Rozbruch, I'm going to try and send Dr. Guichet all of that information to try and somewho lower the pre-testing/x-ray costs (my insurance paid for most of those already).
Honestly, in my personal opinion, Dr. Guichet is probably the best lengthening doctor alive today--except maybe for Dr. Paley. Your money would be very well spent with him.
