Yes, you are right. The doctor told me 4 months. I got an Airbnb for 5 month though.

When did you first contact Anta and get the schedule for the surgery date?

I am considering doing it now with Precice or G-nail, or doing it later with Stryde.

I first contacted Anta in mid August, so basically two and a half months from first contact to surgery.

Hi Bro

Dr.Giotikas would never ask you to do 10cm.
He would emphasize the importance of function rather than lengthening cm.
Most cases should be 7cm to 8cm.

Did you ask him about your proportion and how much you can lengthen?
He can do the estimation and tell you.
Do check with him.

Hey guys,

The surgery went well thank G-d. I personally am happy here. PT is good. All the patients here are very nice. I can understand some people not liking the city of Athens. I like it though.
The biggest advice I can give is financial. The Doctor is great, however there is false advertising in the sense that you can do those alone. Everyone here either has their girlfriend/family member or if they came alone they hire the nurses. The point is if you come by yourself be ready to shell out a few more grand for aids. Besides that all is good.
