Also, how was the discussion about your lengthening goals with Dr. Pili? Is he attentive, realistic? I think it's these little details that have been left from the previous Pili/Catagni diaries. The patients all seemed to have had good results and never came back to the forum (so they could reply), either.
Thanks for any help, FTN!

I personally, face to face, spoke barely much with dr Pili. We cleared most stuff over mails. First time I met him, he just took the sizes for my crutch. Even most of their tests were no-nonsense types. On the day of surgery, they took the xrays and blood tests and in 1-2 hours I was in for surgery. Right now, I have an issue with my visa, that he said he is looking upon.
All i could say is, they are very precise, and they dont waste time in repeating/explaining.

Some people have custom covers made, like this and this. Not many make a finished product, but here's one, and it's not cheap. You can also opt for Thai trousers, basically loose-legged pants.
Hi fivetenneeded2016

Hey buddy, coincidently, yes. We were operated on the same day and discharged too the same day. Good you chose femurs and chose stay. I would fly back once my Visa issue is fixed. Hope all goes well eith you. All the best. You can PM me, so we can share the ups and downs .
Good luck
Funny! You can create a magic bond. Hope you both have a smooth experience.

How many hours of sleep have you been getting since your surgery? I know you're not lengthening yet, but just curious.
