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.
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?
I’m in the states. I’m staying 7 weeks. Let me know when you book your accommodation. Curios about advantages of each.
Looks like we got a little winter Athens crew in this thread. Since I'm assuming this is new to everyone, let's list things that we think might be helpful. I saw in a couple other threads that having a grabber to be able to reach things is helpful.
The rehab in included while you're in Athens. I plan to stay alone, although some of my friends want to visit. I think I'll wait until the second month so it's a little less embarrassing.
There is a free initial 15 minute consultation and then a 45 minute consultation that costs 200 Euro. Both can be done by zoom. I just booked mine for mid January and they offered me a few dates so doesn't seem like there would be a huge wait. They recommend you book at least 6 weeks in advance of the surgery date. Not sure if that's be cause they want you to do the stretching for 6 weeks or to ensure availability. My guess is that you could probably do it with a lot less notice, but honestly, I think you probably need a few weeks just to make sure it's not an impulsive decision.

Paid today.

I haven't seen 33 in over a decade. I'm in great shape, don't look my age, and often hang out with younger people so I don't feel old at all. It's only in times like this when it becomes a consideration. In all honesty, I'm not too worried about my age but am a little concerned about my lack of flexibility. Anyway--we'll see how it goes. I'll do the best I can and will be satisfied with the result.

Did you pay whole amount about 47k€ already? And you paid to hotel also? Does he offer insurance if something bad happens?
You have a pre-op appointment the day before the surgery.
There is a 1600 Euro deposit due when you schedule the surgery. The balance is due before the surgery occures.
