Don't overthink

Guys, I saw topics opening about old LL'ers leaving the forum, and the lack of feedback about their condition, long term experiences, general life after. The old forum was imho more reliable too, but my advice is, that don't overthink the effects of LL after the consolidation phase, when somebody seems objective (making senseful decisions: right doctor, amount of lengthening, handling complications etc..), even with this surgery the chance of failing is low, but not zero unfortunately.
I was making this post to possibly secure future candidates, that a realistic approach of this surgery based on common sense minimises the chances of failure, just don't make premature decisions, or based on not the right motives (e.g. only deciding by financial "benefit"). There always will be people, who are not on this forum with the right reasons, sadly without real moderation it will be struggling to navigate to the right direction for beginners.

My current situation: frames were removed, I'm walking a lot better (it is a completely different experience without frames in my case), but I feel, that my left leg has to improve more, until I can put full weight without regards (feeling like "micro-movements" on the left side), so with Dr Giotikas we decided to walk cautiously in the next weeks yet. Other than that getting rid of the frames is a huge relief.

Take care guys!

Do ppl in Greece understand, and fluently speak English? Will the journey of living there for 6 months not knowing Greek be okay?

Hey bud - I'm thinking of going with Giotikas in 2020. I can see that you'd recommend him. I had my skype meeting with him a couple of weeks back and he seemed like a good chap.

Do you know how successful he is with this surgery?

Almost everyone understands and speaks English there. You'll be fine.
