Crimson kept warning everyone, again and again and again, but people thought he was just one of those bad outcomes. Respect to cooper, LLuser, and crimson.
It look like internal surgery , dont have good cases
TRueSpartan, will you do this ?

It look you have successful operation with paley before .i read you diary. If this so, why you did not choose paley for tibia lengthening?
I made a mistake. I thought i could save about $50k going to Spain. He appeared experience, some LL patient on this forum and Spain is in Europe. He emailed nicely and explained in long email. I have some doubt but thought i should be OK and it's only one leg. Also thought European doctors and medical are equivalent to US. Dead wrong. In Spain everyone lies-- per one Spanish friend. With very successful surgery with Dr. Paley i thought i do not need to go top LL surgeon. Terrible mistake and worst decision of my life!
Cooper
Thank you for saying honest word. I email Dr Monegal for a little days for a week. He reply fast. I was thinking him over Dr.Pili in Italy for the tibia because external is I dont like and Dr Monegal is not expensive. Dr Moengal say super something that can avoid knee pain internal. He is bad.
Cooper, sent you a pm!
Sucks to hear, I hope you can get fixed up.
So there's you, Crimson, and although musicmaker is very happy with his attention, it's no secret that she required multiple corrective surgeries. And now glen is missing? The best option is not doing LL, but if you absolutely have to (crazy in my opinion) Monegal seems a good Dr to miss.
Lesson here is: Don't go out of the country to save money. Sorry to hear about your troubles, Cooper. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Dr. Guichet is still good, and somewhat cheaper than Paley and Rozbruch. And there are some other European doctors who are good (like Catagni). But now we officially know that this doctor is to be avoided at all costs. I remember writing him last year asking about tibias and he made it seem sooooo easy ...my God, so glad I didn't do it with him. Just need another inch, and I'm set, but have to do it with a safe doctor.
Cooper, you're a good guy, and you're tough. You will make it through this. You are in the hands of a fantastic doctor in either Paley or Rozbruch. You will come out of this!
So what are you options now? Besides hopefully correcting the right leg, I'm guessing you're now gonna have to do the left leg as well... Who are you going to do it with, and do you think insurance will cover it?
I am not disclosing my current doctor for many reason. If i do i will probably open another thread. Please respect that for moment.
I am in wheel chair now. Basically in my bed all the time. It sucks, really.....really sucks! I hope nobody has to go through this. That is the main reason i am back in forum to bring awareness and expose the crook/dishonest/unethical/inexperience/manipulative monegal.
But my recovery is going well. I may be in crutches in a month or so. When i was with Dr. Paley i was in walker immediately. We had so good time, party every night with other LLers. It was like college life.
But with one leg lengthening it turned into night mares. Disasters and many months of frustration, anger, resentment and helpless.
