Hey Everyone,
In Athens and had my CLL surgery, meet another Dr. Giotikas patient that did the same surgery and it turn out we became good friends, Planning. Each day we push and encourage each other, plus getting into mischief with the staff at the Theseus.
I’m not planning to load my dairy till my lengthening is complete, but I’m keeping a personal daily dairy of my experience and might post the whole thing all at once when I’m complete.
There are a few rumors going around about the PT not be good at Theseus, not true.
Planning is the first dairy on this forum for Stryde and as I too were worry on Dr. Giotikas experience with Stryde since there was no dairy, all the worries went away after meeting a couple of current Dr. Giotikas Stryde patients prior to my surgery.
Have met another Dr. Giotikas Stryde chinese girl patient at the Theseus during PT and she is doing good after 6cm of lengthening.
The moment before the surgery, before you are wheel into the OR, just remember that you were able to walk, run, jump, sit up, and sit down just to name a few. The moment someone tap you on your shoulder and say your surgery was a success, but you have no idea that it already happened. Remember about being able to walk, run, jump, sit up, and sit down, all that goes away, but not forever depending on the success of surgery and recovery. Just have to retrain your body to do it all over again, cause your mind remember and know just 6 hours before you were able to and now your lower body won’t allow you to.
Overall the experience is awesome and the recovery is better than expected. Well I’ll 99% focus on lengthening and recovery, so I will not be posting till my lengthening is done.
My dairy will mainly be on my experience since no matter what you read on pain level, recovery and complications, it will never be 100% of what you will experience if you have this surgery, cause this surgery is NOT for the weak, but can be worth it!!!

Good luck to you, azman. Smart decision to take care of your recovery first and of diary later. If it's not bothersome, you could post some videos of you walking/running/jumping/lifting after your recovery.
Good luck!
Hope everything is going all well for and good luck with the recovery. You are so brave going under the surgery by yourself.
Where are you from azman, if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you for your sharing, I really appreciate it! Because I had the same worries about Dr. Giotikas, like what you mentioned, his patients didn’t share their experiences in this forum, and we had no idea what he’s like. But now we do!!! I personally live in Germany, kinda swinging between Dr. Betz and Dr. Giotikas, after reading many diaries, I’ve decided that Stryde is my first choice. Good luck with the clicking, recovering and everything!! I’m really looking forward to your new diary!!!
Have not heard anymore update from you here or on IG either. Hope you are doing all well
Sorry I think you are referring to my friend Planning, he has an IG set up and if you look at one of his video I’m in it when we were both at the hospital. We are both doing great, just very busy with PT, lengthening 4x per day, and etc. You can reply to his IG or on his diary.
Dr Giotikas is shaping up to be one of the best in the field it seems.
I pray he doesn't become extremely expensive like Paley however
