Quote from: Beemer m3 on April 18, 2024, 08:25:39 AMthe hospital was pretty good. everything is detailed and organize. i stayed an extra day because they had mainly grl staff and they were nice. u get released from the hospital after a week and stay at an apartment complex. its high end. i dont think my doctor do femur lon . he only specializes in tibia lengthening. u can go for .75 mm . i did 2 months lengthening and 40 days recovery. no extra cost besides taxi and a little food because i couldnt eat some of the food at times. they had a Canadian guy at the time did like 8cm on his tibias. using google translate most times. it gets boring if u cant speak to them lol. he stayed like 5 to 6 months i think he wasnt in a rush. as i was rushing because i missed america at times lol and i couldnt pay some bills with the text verification things. oh well im going back for nail removal and it cost like 3k .
Thanks for the reply. Can you give me the name of the hospital you had your surgery? I also wouldn't mind staying longer personally.
grew with lon tibia in vietnam
i think the hospital name was bac ha hospital. its been awhile i need to search it up.
Hey thanks for sharing your experince.
I have also seriously started to consider this option with Dr Doan in Vietnam. I have talked to him about standard package and then finding accomodation myself. He says there is no problem to get nurses and pt to visit me if i live close by. So i think this will save my alot of money since they living and renting costs are so low.
I want to increase 5.5cm so that means 55 day + 2 months recovery. Does that sound enough? You see, i work in a food market so its not super physically demanding but still i need to be active with my legs back adn forth. I hope 2 months is good, otherwise i´ll add one more month

are u living in vn? i was a foreigner so i didnt know much. they wash ur clothes for u. bring food to u. take u to take xray with grab taxi. u have to go back n forth in a car. sometimes its demanding. u can ask grab to get food for u too. but have to meet them outside. i felt 2 months of recovery was ok. but 3.5 months and i was ready to work. walking wobbly but yeh. 2 months u wound still be on crutches if u plan to work like 8 hrs a day. i mean 2 month of recovery people do it because they were young. im not that young.
as for my legs i can do a full squat. i feel my knee buckling but if i have a knee brace it would help. i hope it goes away over time. when im lifting one leg up the air i cant do a 90 degree. its pretty bent when i lift my leg. no clue how i can fix that. its like 35 degrees from being straight. i probably need more elasticity in my knees.
morning leg stiffness still exist. my left foot still needs to be stretched out . but im not tip toeing. 5.5 months now.
i can feel the burn on my foot when im stepping down stairs. like its not fully stretched. maybe like 4 months it will be fully stretched and i can run down stairs. running i cant do that yet.

I live in Sweden bro. Im 169 looking for 5.5cm. Im willing to spend as much time needed so i dont come back with a visible walk/pain that will hinder me from working and also avoiding suspicion from people lol. Ok, So you are saying its taxing to go in and out your home for different services? Well i would rather do the extra effort than to pay 2500$/month for their hospital Accomod. which i think is a ridicilous overprice especially considering how long i intent to stay. Im not rich trust me. Did the nurses come to your own apartment or did u have to go to hospital? Did you also have girl companion or something like this? 
Im gonna be around 36 years old when i do this surgery so im no spring chicken either lol. Ive seen people 40+ doing this so im not that worried, but i understand its gonna be taxing. Ok so 3,5 month in total and you could walk normal (with little wobble)? That not too bad, so we are talking lengtheningphase + 3,5 month or is it 3,5 total?

Its very interesting what you say about your current status. How much PT you do now? Howw much walking? Could you share videos please? It would be very helpful thank you!
It was lengthening phase + 3.5 months. I was at the apartments they had. The caretaker lives across the building walks by n does her stuff. The pin cleaner and pt comes by every other day by moped. I went to the hospital like once a month to take xrays that's a out It. They bring u breakfast lunch n dinner if ur thinking of staying there. I'm not sure if there willing to travel to u. The caretakers but the pt guys will cus there mobile.
I don't do much pt now. I'm just walking everyday at work like 0.8 miles everyday. My work is my pt cus I walk up stairs n move all over the place. So yeh I recommend it at 169 cm. Life changes . The doctor does alot of home patients daily. Patients that goes home n don't need accommodation but uses pt on side.

Bro this sounds amazing. I have to check only if he can make so the caretaker can come to my place, because how else can i change bandage and clean the pins? So maybe ill have to pay extra for home visit which is ok for me since i dont think it will be that expensive hopefully.
So u where there for about 5.5 months och so 1 month/cm lol. Not too bad. Do u wish u stayed there longer? Maybe 6 months?
I work in foodmarket so i will move all day and sometimes maybe lift some thing that might be medium heavy but that is rare. I work out in gym about 3 times/week and do heavy lifting especially on squats and deadlift. Do u workout since operation?
Man i look so much forward for it. I just need to save up aproximately 200k... and then my life will change i think. My legs are too short lol and its a missing link because im quite successful now but it kinda ruins the whole package when u walk around like a oompa loompa short legged freak! Its like people subconciously dont buy your confidence and they dont take u as a authority, especially when they are taller than u LOL.
Do u have any video u can share bro? Like walking/running? thanks alot!
i stayed in vietnam for 3 months and went back to the states after and train after that. the grl can go change ur pins n stuff cus shes mobile but the care taker is different. they do food runs and clean ur clothes. i wish i had stayed longer because it was cheap to eat over there. i had alot of bills i needed to pay that i couldnt pay overseas because my fone needed to verify by text. i couldnt do that. u also need a visa for a 6 month stay. i also miss my home. sometimes it was just too boring.
i dont have any videos. just writing a story not a youtber or anything. my leg looks alot longer than before which is a plus. i watch alot of nba players leg and there really long sometimes i want that lol. but 5.5 cm is enough growth. because i couldnt take the pain at the time.
Was it a single room? Is it possible ot sit at the desk for 3-4 hours and do some basic works from this facility?
