Thank you for your attention and your answers Dexter, I hope you have been well today. I am 22 years old and I have had a complex since I was 15 years old, this has led my life to be a martyrdom, I am not that short, I am 1.68, but living in a country like Canada where the new generation of young people are almost mostly measuring 1.80, it is complicated.  The problem is that my parents would not support me, my father does not know about my height complex, actually the only person who knows about it is my mother and when I told her about the surgery, it was an absolute no, I have the money to do the surgery, and I have the money for the stay, either in Turkey or in Vietnam, I think I could invest a maximum of 27k USD in this procedure, which would be something like 55% of my life savings, but what causes me a big conflict is to go maybe 5 months and come back to Canada with a walker or on crutches, because I think my mother would not stand it. My idea is very crazy, but my intention is that no one finds out, I can say that I will go for work to another city, but I could not sustain it if I return at any given time with really affected mobility. Not that I want to run around and do everything at 6 months, but if I at least knew for sure that I could walk relatively without much difficulty, that would be great. And yes, Dr Doan clarified that he didn't do femurs, I'd have to take my measurements to see if it's wise to have my tibias operated on as well.  I had been thinking of going maybe mid January 2022, to get away from the Canadian winter.

Hi LeoGB, new here and just saw your posts about choosing between Dr. Buldu and Dr. Doan. I actually got the same reply from Dr. Doan’s team regarding the packages. I also messaged Dr. Buldu and got a reply from someone named Sedat on WhatsApp. Their prices sure seem good for a student like me but I do need to save up more lol. I’m also from Canada and just turned 21. Anyways, which doctor did you end up choosing? If you chose Dr. Doan, could you please let me know everything you did like hiring a physical therapist or a caregiver and also your living condition in Vietnam? I’m thinking of getting this procedure next year but I’m not sure yet.

Hi, I hope everything is going well for you.  I haven't had surgery yet and I don't have an exact date to do so, but I have done my research and have ruled out Dr. Buldu.  1 reason, is the fact that as I have been reading and gathering information, I have realized that LON on femurs is complete torture, and there are usually many complications, a painful, slow recovery and also Dr. Buldu's team has had many complaints from some patients who went through there. 2 reason, he is a guy who usually operates only on femurs, he does not have much experience with tibias, so Dr Doan is a plus, because basically all his surgeries have been on tibias.  3 reason the cost, although the prices are quite competitive compared to doctors in the US and Europe, compared to Dr. Doan, it is a bit more expensive, the premium package with Buldu (which includes accommodation, care, and food) comes out to 22k EUROS (31k CAD) while Dr. Doan, has a package that includes everything, for 15k USD (18. 5k CAD) and also, as I go only for Tibias, Dr. Doan is the best in terms of price and experience. where are you from in Canada?, if you are from Quebec, and you speak French, we could talk by text message and I can share information with you, unfortunately my English is not very good, but still I try to make myself understood as best as possible.

Hi Dexter, I hope everything is going very well for you. Thanks for thinking like that, I think that maturity and responsibility is not something that has much to do with age, but rather with experiences, I come from a very hardworking and humble immigrant family, and we usually take care of money, because at some point we were not very well.  Yes, really the only thing that keeps me away from doing the procedure is that detail of arriving with my mobility affected and people asking, maybe after I recover from the procedure I will tell my mother, she will take it badly for not having told her, but I know that if I tell her that I am going to Vietnam to break my legs, I doubt she can be calm and sleep at night knowing that her son is going through something like this hahaha. Man, I think very highly of Dr. Doan, I will continue to do more research on LON in TIBIAS. By the way Dexter, when are you going to post a diary?..I would really be the most interested in reading it. Thanks for being so vigilant man, hope your weekend is going great.

yoh dude just logged in to let you know that I have removed the frames off after 2 days ago, now I can truly start my consolidation phase. Good luck on your journey in the future. For me, I'm pretty much done with the LL forum, time to move on

Good luck, hope the best for you. Could you update 6 months-1 year later?

In a Womans 30's she rapidly become less fertile, less attractive and is truly tired of the "bad boy" losers of her 20's.
Truth is Women want resources, and as a Man ages he gathers more resources and skills - Men age like fine wine, Women age like Milk.

stop coping, you re a loser that couldnt get laid in his 20s because he couldnt compete with other men for women.
no female wants an inexperienced virgin man at 30 lol

Quote from: SirStretchAlot on July 01, 2021, 07:09:46 PMThere aren't many cases because complications rise after 5cm. Did you reach 6cm with weight-bearing nails? Because feeling like you can go 6+ with external fixiators is very different than going 6+ with weight bearing. You won't be able to walk. My internal femur nails can go 11cm+, but I'll only go 8-9cm because my walking is getting worse.

Hi, sorry if it's obvious but can you explain what you mean by "because feeling like you can go 6+ with external fixiators is very different than going 6+ with weight bearing. You won't be able to walk.".
You mean it's easier or harder going 6+ with externals, assuming pain was the same?

Sorry but I got confused about one thing: does this doctor has Precise or not?
Thanks

He can't even run as a normal person.
