Hi all,

I just scheduled my surgery with Dr. Giotikas for what is about 5 weeks away now.  Any pieces of advice or wisdom? 
I can't believe I'm going to do this.  One year ago, I didn't even know this existed.

Congrats on making the big commitment! I’ll be there for surgery in early January. What’s your goal in cm’s?

Will see how it goes. I’d love to do 7-8, but I’m incredibly inflexible and a bit old so not sure how my body will hold up.

How about you? Did you book accommodation? How long you planning on staying?

No I haven’t booked my accommodation, I will soon though. My plan is to stay for 3 months and try for 7-8cm. I believe we need a Visa after 90 days right? I’m in Canada btw. How about you?

I’m in the states. I’m staying 7 weeks. Let me know when you book your accommodation. Curios about advantages of each.

It’s part of the reason why I haven’t booked accommodations yet. I heard Grand Hyatt is much better than the other two. But of course, it’s a lot more. The 3 star hotel ain’t cheap either for a 3 star. Like $55 euros. They should have a monthly deal instead.

How about rehabilitation? Is it also expensive there? And also will you stay alone?
