$40,000 is indeed cheap, but you still need to add in physio, accommodation and food for roughly 3 months if doing Precice 2. So far the cheapest Precice 2 package is Dr Birkholtz $52,000 approx. This could work out to be cheaper

You can find good hotels with rates of $1,500 a month. Physio probably wouldn't be expensive. I haven't been charged a dime for physiotherapy with Dr Parihar. Food here is really cheap. I spend maybe 3 or 4 bucks a day on it.

I want to do 5.5cm with monorail (external only) with Dr Shah in the next 3 weeks.

I want him to do my tibias because I intend to get him to do my internal Femur with precise after soon after (around 6 months after tibia surgery).

Can you guys let me know what I need to do to get a medical visa for this procedure?

The easiest way to obtain a Medical Treatment visa is to send an e-mail to a hospital you are considering for surgery and tell them that you desire to have CLL and wish to have a Medical Treatment visa for entry. The hospital should have no problem writing a letter addressed to your nearest Indian Embassy/Consulate General of India Office and e-mailing it back for you to include with other documents to send in to the appropriate visa application center. The Embassy of India has given the new contract for providing Visa applications to Cox & Kings Global Services, and based on their website it looks like their process is pretty straightforward.

So wait, with accommodation (food therapy place to stay), what would the grand total be?

I wonder just how weight bearing the metal plates used in the LATP option are.

I'll call him up today and ask him whether he would perform LOP and if he would recommend LOP over LATP. The scarring doesn't seem too bad with LOP and I don't mind partial weight bearing once the fixators are off and plates are locked.

I called him and he does perform LOP. Partial weight bearing is recommended after plates are locked in. He also mentioned that scars will be minimal.

Just when I am about to finalise my trip to India I here about the LOP thing.

it looks very interesting Dr Suhas Shah (Mumbai, India) Ashwinii Accident Hospital

study showed that the LATP plates had tendency to bend but they never disclosed the weight of the patients who suffered this problem.

Some one ask the Doctor if they could double plate to increase stability and weight bearing ability.
