Precice 2.2 with Dr. Giotikas, September 2021

I feel like I must give back to ll forum community by documenting my experience as reading other ppl journals helped me out immensely.
I'll try to answer any and all questions and give you guys regular updates. I def value privacy but I'll try to do my best to be as Precice (yikes!) as possible.

About Me

Male, 25 yo, 173cm

Goal

7cm, hopefully all the way up to 8cm if I don't get any complications along the way

Surgery

Precice 2.2 nail, Dr. Dimitrios Giotikas in Athens, surgery planned for mid September
Going alone so wouldn't mind connecting with other patients to pass time (over a beer maybe if that's allowed?)
I'm planning to stay in Athens for the whole duration of lengthening + part of consolidation period (long time), the idea is to fly out of Athens when I'll be able to at least partially weightbear on crutches

why did you choose Gnail instead?

Where does he say that he chose GNail?  It looks like this is a Precise 2.2 surgery.  I didn't know Greece had received the Precise Nail.  There was such a delay every month with it being promised and then delayed.

Very pleased to see you volunteer to update!
And you wanna lengthen your tibias or femurs?7-8cm on tibias is dangerous.

Is it sure 100% that Precice will be back for September? I thougth there was not an official confirmation. In any case, I'm already a patient here in Greece (G nail), you can contact in you need anything¡ Good luck man.

Cheers bro! Will shoot you a DM. Yeah, there is a significant chance the surgery will be delayed; Dr G office should give me an update soon.

To be fair, September was the last expected month of Precice return to EU (at least according to Dr G)

Good luck man. we are about the same height. What is your current weight? I'm thinking of maybe doing precise as well.

Good luck.
