Hope all is well. I wanted to ask if you could do your cost break down and share your experience of first couple of days right after surgery! Ps I am following your diary closely so I hope you will continue to constantly update us !

Thanks

Thanks for the wishes.
Sorry for not updating for a long.I was in bad pain in the last days of lengthening.Now my frames are removed,I am almost relaxed.
The cost of surgery is 7 lakh INR for Indians this includes three months of accommodation.The same for a foreigner is 15000 USD.The difference is because the hospital chargers are more for foreigners.
Cost also depends on the method you choose,it would be more for internal.Recently,Dr.Sarin has performed hydraulic internal tibia surgery.I believe this is one of the first kind in the world.So it is always better to ask the doctor for the cost.
In the coming days I would try to share more my experience including the first few days after the surgery.

Why would the hospital charges be more for foreigners? That doesnt make sense. The truth is they know that international patients have more money so they ask for more. This is fraud in my opinion.
