Ronne has responded to me and I've filled in her details form and sent back yesterday. I've proposed August for operation and stay for four months minimum, awaiting her confirmation 
Why go here over Jamal now? I am curious because I wonder with the price of scar revision I feel they should be around the same price.
According to Disobedient's quote Jamal appears to be more expensive because ccomodation (apartment an food) is extra, on top of the $31.5/33.5K ,right ?
"The total cost of the lengthening program since 2014 takes into account a stay of a patient in the Ukraine for three months. 90-100 days - this is the time period for conducting a surgery and lengthening of femurs or tibias to the optimum length. The optimum length refers to the lengthening when muscles, tendons, and nerves are adapted sufficiently well to the new state of tension. It is 7.0 cm for femurs and 4.5-5.0 cm for tibias. The total cost of the lengthening program (TCLP) is 31 500,00 EUR ( for femurs /hips/) and 33 500 EUR (for tibias /shanks/). (Lengthening more than the optimum length increases the time period of lengthening and restoration. In this case it is necessary to adjust additional costs of the program of lengthening.)
This cost includes the cost of surgeries and a stay of a patient in hospital for the necessary term (as a rule 2-3 days), and also the cost of a surgery and a stay in hospital for the removal of devices (in 1 - 1.5 years after the beginning of lengthening).
The cost of the lease of apartments during the stay for the period of the lengthening is not includes in TCLP. Assistant can help to lease suitable apartment. /Cost of comfortable apartments is around 1000 EUR per month. Additional costs may be associated with a broker service for searching for an apartment - usually half the monthly cost, single payment/. Choice is better to do together among prepared options. It will take 1-2 days, as a rule.
Assistant on duty can be present in the apartments around the clock, if it is necessary.
The first day (of the three months period) begins with the first day in the hospital.
During the period of stay out of the hospital, a patient receives medical services, the cost of which is included in the TCLP. Medical services consist of the doctor's visits, the necessary physiotherapy, massages (total 60 sessions of intensive lower limbs massage), the necessary medicines, test x-rays. During the three months stay a patient is provided with meals based on the agreed upon menu (preference in the food). The cost of food (products) is not included in the TCLP. Assistants can assist in purchase of products. Patient can visit supermarkets together with assistant for choice and purchase of products. Maintenance (household) services consist of laundry, cleaning, cooking. The cost of Assistant’s service /maintenance services/ (daily 25 -30 EUR) is not included in the TCLP.
The international telephone calls and high-speed internet access are not included in the TCLP. TCLP does not change if the patient leaves Ukraine before the end of a three months term. TCLP remains to be invariable for all sizes of lengthening within the optimum lengths. Patient can lease an apartment and organize the necessary maintenance services by him/herself. "
Please arise ?

Good to here LittleLiam, hopefully we can see some more Dr Xia diaries. Rather strange that they just seemed to have stopped recently.
Im saving up for China as well even with the new prices, its not that much more anyway. Jamal is the other option though he is more expensive and I might be going to him for femus should I choose to do another. What China has over Jamal is the the sense of community and being around other LL patients where as Jamal you are in an apartment 24/7 with no one but a maid should you pay for one
Is it still 33k for the operation with 4 months stay? If so I am def interested, who else is planning on going?
Hey ProgrammingDude
I'm talking to Ronne now about my operation in August;
"The package price is 35,000 USD with 4 months hospital stay in 2014 which needs to be paid at the time of admission. If you need longer hospital stay after 4 months of free period, 1,500 USD per month will be charged as extra"
Way too much!
Yeah...he is after ''foreign'' money. For locals it must be cheaper.

Yes, it is cheaper. The last time I asked (about six months ago) they said 70k yuan for the first surgery and 30k yuan for the second surgery. I am not sure how much to remove the rod. The accommodation isn't included thought. So I think it should be 10000 dollars cheaper. Living in Beijing isn't cheap by the way.
Living in the Feng Tai district of Beijing is cheap though.
