Same here but i hope to do in Italy

What about language bareer ? In India they speak english but in Russia ?


Most of the nurses don't, but as long as the Russian doctors speak English well enough, I don't see any issues  Money is the biggest hurdle to lls, at least for me

Quote from: Chris on April 19, 2016, 05:55:22 PMMy next opportunity to do LL would be in March 2018, there is no way I could wait that much longer.
I will be having some more money by January 2017 actually, but I'm very sure that I wont have to spend more than 13000 Euros (total).

Regarding lengthening at home: I don't understand why so many people are afraid it.
There is no difference whether I am at home and visit a doctor every 1 or 2 weeks or whether I am in a rented apartment somewhere in a forging country and pay the doctor a visit every 1 or 2 weeks. Same time - different place, that is all.

I'm certainly not underestimating this surgery. I know and I understand the risks, and I'm desperate enough to say yes to LL, even in a second or third world country.
Lengthening at home saves a lot of money. Additionally, I will have the comfort of my home and the help of my family. And maybe I can even do some school stuff too.
If something went wrong, I could still fly back to Russia (or India) and have it fixed.

You are supposed to stay close to the Dr who performed the surgery. At least for the time of distraction, after the externals are locked you can fly home without the risks of ending up with crooked legs.
Just think about the case that something goes wrong and you can´t afford the fixing. March 2018 doesn´t sound too bad imo.
Better safe than sorry.

What happened to Chinese doctors? There price skyrocketed in last couple years. I also saw few guys saying that the Chinese doctors offer 1/3 of the price to the locals... meaning the expense for everything can be covered by 1/3 of the price that they ask us  Money is the biggest hurdle to lls, at least for me
