Quote from: IceTrae38 on December 09, 2022, 06:56:15 PMWhat is average age for LL then ?
Mid to late 20s. Earlier if parents are paying for it.
Have you done LL yourself or planning to? I’m heading to Athens myself, next month!
Quote from: 1team on December 09, 2022, 06:40:53 PMThere have been some guys in 40s and 50s who have had good results so it isn't set in stone that age will be a hindrance. Unless you are one of those guys who is like 33 but refers to themselves as old.
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.
So no need to meet DR Giotikas before the surgery date? How he can order right nails or make measurements etc.? Or you just meet him first time when you are laying on surgery table? 
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.
If you're on the heavier side, Dr G will also ask you to get x-rays and send them to him before your surgery so that he can confirm whether the largest weightbearing nail will fit your bones.

Have you done LL with G-Nail?
are you doing it with g nail or precice? g nail is weight bearing so more convenient. If you are flexible, some patients have gone beyond 8cm

What are the weight limits for different size g-nails?
