@a Most of my friends are over 10cm taller so I have a good feeling I can blag it, apart from one which is around 5cm taller - I may have to relax my posture so he doesn't sniff it.

@wannabeidol I'm in between white and brown, and I do get scarred easily and it lasts so if theres a solution to not getting scarred like anti scar patches or honey or whatever I need to figure it out.

1. 53k for femurs stryde really? If you had 150k, is it reasonable to do both internal femur and tibia?

2. What were your other main expenses aside from surgery?

"Femurs and tibias with STRYDE nails: 90445 Euro"

90,445 Euro equals
106,855.34 United States Dollar

1. If you did this option, what do you think your total price would be including accommodation/etc?

2. What VISA option would you pick? Would need to be there like 6 months

Is 150k total enough?

150k total should be more than enough in this case as monthly living cost is to be around 2-3k max.

Does anyone know if Dr Giotikas does surgery in the Uk as someone said something about him doing surgery in the UK...
He does seem like a decent surgeon but I have my doubts

Does Giotikas fix the fibula to the tibia for internal tibias? Paley talked about this issue, I'm trying to understand

Palely says at this time stamp in the vid that there is a right and wrong way to fix the fibula.

27:50 – Fibula fixation is super crucial among many other experienced-based techniques

What is the right and wrong way, and which does Dr. Giotikas do?

Quote from: TemakiSushi on December 22, 2019, 03:20:51 AMwhat is your thoughts about dr gikotas ?
Hi Cobalt
Thanks for complications info about Dr Lee
Could you give me the site URL of the nerve damage case, toes numbness?, you are taking about
I know Dystonia like case in which one toe is keep moving but never immobile, Dr Lee himself explained about the case

Anesthesia accidents most happened at small cosmetic clinics where anesthesiologist is not present at surgery and only surgeon and nurses are in charge of monitoring anesthesia while doing surgery
On contrary, Dr Lee’s hospital has resident anesthesiologist

According to the patients I’ve contacted, yes superficial Skin numbness is quite common especially among external and last like a year in some case.  This skin numbness, I don’t  worry much as long as it’s not making damage like a dropfoot

Release not done case, could you also refer me to the site, if it’s not the case in the forum?
From what I’ve known, some years ago Dr Lee didn’t do IT band release in some cases
Now it’s confirmed for femurs he does IT band release routinely
Bicep tendons only in cases hamstrings are extremely tight
Gastrocnemius fascia release, only in some cases it’s done
it seems it doesn’t need to be done if ankles aren’t too tight
These practices are just like Paley
I’ve never heard of preventive nerve decompression cases with Donghoon
It was done on OYG by Paley

BTW I never expect any CLL doctor to be 100% safe
Still certainly some doctors have much higher rate of complications than others
Also most patients never write a thing about their experience here.
If there are already quite a bit of complications or dangerous treatments are revealed here, that means there are lot more complications hidden behind this forum
Even those who write diaries here, many hide crucial facts

There are too many readers who only rely on this forum and have too optimistic views of certain doctors, especially those doctors who newly entered into CLL field

There have been guiniepigs, then after some cases there are stories of devastating experiences
This kind of history is repeated  just too many times here
Look at what’s been happening in India, China, Armenia, Russia, Uklaina,Germany, Spain, Italy etc etc
People don’t need to hide negative information
Why you wanna hear only good things about the doctor you are interested in?
It’s way better to estimate the risks before the surgery is done
Some do surgery without having extra funds
If they’ve known the risks they could have prepared for it
How much will they loose if they cannot walk normally for two years, living without income
Some come from the country which doesn’t provide enough health welfare

Also, many CLL doctors or their staff are reading this site
It should be good for them to learn here to provide better treatments
