Hey, congrats on starting your journey. I had my surgery about a month ago and the first few days after surgery are definitely the hardest I've faced so far, it gets much easier after about a week. I didn't poo for 5 days after my surgery! I had to get an enema, then I didn't poo for another 5 days after that! Had to get another enema, after that I started pooing normally.

What method did your surgeon use? Is there an internal nail inside your tibia also? (i.e LON)

Best of luck

Yea I contacted both! Dr. Luong haven’t gotten back to me, but dr. Doan has. The price is very fair especially since the price in Ho Chi Minh has increased to USD 19k.. doctor doan told me that the price only includes everything for the operations and the 10days hospital stay after it.. what are your plans during the lengthening process in terms of accommodations and physical therapy?

So it’s 1.3k for all 4 months per person? That’s pretty good too. I’m trying to see if anyone would want to split the cost for the accommodation this upcoming December because I’m planning on having it done then.. and yes it’s, about 5k USD for the first portion, then about another 1500 for the second op and removal.
