Yes, this one is the first diary written on behalf of the patient and we wish to see more and more limb lengthening diaries based on real facts and experiences. No doubt that the genuineness of the provided info is more important than who has written the diary, a patient, a doctor or a third person. For this reason, we do and will continue to do our best to prove the authenticity by providing as many images, x-rays and videos as possible, when we share the experience of our patients.
Those who want to obtain more detailed info about the patients we represent and to see hospital reports etc documents, are always welcome to pay us a visit, we will be happy to have them here. Our purpose is to share our experiences, shed light into what lessons can be deducted and help people make more careful steps on their journey to limb lengthening, which is something more than making a promotion.
With our diaries in the future, we hope to support and extra knowledge to limb lengthening patients in Turkey or in any other country and help them take correct steps in decision making and post-surgery period.
Diary: Jeraldo from Brazil - LON limb lengthening in Turkey
UPDATE:
05 Jan 2020: Distraction (lengthening) going on. Still painful and knees have limited movement. This limited range of knee motion causes problems for walking.
A recommendation for knees that cannot fully extend: In sitting position with legs positioned straight, put weights on top of both knees and sit like that for some time.
This scale approximately visualises the lengthened amount so far (it shows a little more than actual amount of lengthening, but still helps to track the progress):
Here are the x-rays:

LON price is 17000 eur, including medical examinations, hospital stay and 7/24 caretaker, physiotherapist assistance, transportation and accommodation.
Hospital stay? for how long? all the distraction period? please specify this, thank you.
Please stop using your client experience as a dairy to advertise for your company wannabetaller.
To all that fall into their marketing trap so be warned. This is just morally wrong on so many level. How do we know if this dairy is actually real? Fake dairy = Fake news from an immortal company just about the $$$. What other company advertised on this forum this way?

The surgery costs include these services:
- meeting patients at the airport and transportation to hotel/hospital
- accommodation in a hotel (1 day)
- an English-speaking caretaker who will be around 7/24 during hospital stay
- Istanbul tour
- Medical examinations before operation
- 5 days of staying in the hospital
- Walker+crutches+wheelchair
- Transportation to airport when leaving
- Consultation with doctors and consultants whenever needed throughout the procedure
- Device removal costs 750 eur and is NOT included in surgery cost.
The majority of patients leave for home after 5 days of hospital stay. They continue their distraction procedure and post-surgery recovery at home, according to doctor's instructions.
For patients who plan to stay for extended period in Istanbul (some of the patients prefer staying for at least 2-3 months more, till the end of lengthening procedure), there are service packages that include most of the essentials.
Package #1
Accommodation at a 3-star hotel + 3 meals a day: 1250 euro
Physiotherapy(monthly, 1 session per week): 120 euro
X-rays: 150 euro
Medications: 80 euro
Total monthly cost: 1600 euro/month
Package #2
Accommodation at a 4-5-star hotel + 3 meals a day: 1950 euro
Physiotherapy (1 session every two days): 450 euro for a month
Xrays: 150 euro
Medications: 200 euro
Total: 2750 euro/month
(These packages are made by getting lower than regular prices from partner hotels and facilities, and any service can be added or removed based on patient's preferences and needs. For example, some patients prefer staying at a friend or a flat in Istanbul city and changes are made accordingly)
Regarding physiotherapy: It is strongly recommended to get at least 1 session per week, but it is favorable to get 2-3 sessions per week. Taking into account the significance of physio in post-surgery period, it has been included in both packages.
Can you tell the name of hotel and is near center or not
Olá jeraldo sou do Brasil tbm é muito encontrar brasileiros que fizeram o procedimento ou estão fazendo

Desde já Desejo uma ótima recuperação e o melhor alongamento possível
Hello Meck, there are several hotels, some are close to the city center, others are not, but mainly they are close to the hospital, which is more important.

tremendous and excessive amounts of money you're asking. 1250 euros for 3-star hotel stay for only 3 days is simply amazing.
are you guys joking?
The costs are monthly, as it is indicated, not for 3 days.
