Hello board, been planning this a while. I'm going to Moscow next week to get my tibias lengthened with Dr Bagirov.. The process and communication so far has been excellent with his assistant Anna. I have some concerns reading wannabe giant's thread, mainly regarding availability of Dr after surgery, but otherwise feel pretty confident. I'm not sure if I'll stay the whole time in Moscow or return home. I wanna do at least 6 cm, so might go home during lengthening. I was also considering Dr Mitkovic.
The reason I chose Bagirov is because Dr Mitkovic just stopped replying. I'm not looking forward to being awake during surgery, but I'm sure it'll be fine. . I chose Moscow over baku for 2 reasons.The assistants in Moscow are significantly better at replying, and their English is far superior. I also received the invitation letter needed for visa within an hour of speaking with Anna. I was also not charged for it. The assistants in Baku wanted $300 before sending the invitation.
If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know.
TIBIA LENGTHENING IN MOSCOW WITH DR BAGIROV
ty wannabe... btw, how does the Dr. measure you? Standing up???. Jerry, I'll be at the hospital as wannabe was
just picked up my passport with visa. Planning on going to Russia tomorrow. I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous. Going to a foreign nation to get my legs broken is a bit extreme, but I have confidence that I'll be be okay. I'll try to update daily
wannabegiant, are the frames you're wearing the same as the frames in the video of bagirov that you posted?
ty wannabe... Those can be pretty easily concealed under pants then. I'm flying to moscow in a few hours. Nervous, but also ready to get this done
Ty Jerry. I'm at the clinic now. Anna is great, everyone is nice though. .. They Have a very nice pretty girl from Bulgaria but she's leaving Monday. . She Had the Surgery on Tuesday and is walking already. .. They had a girl that was 180 cm that lengthened 7 or 8 cm but she already left. The fixator is very small. It's a half ring, and does not stick out much. I don't think there's a smaller fixator than this, including salamehs device.
Yes. .. it's tiny. .. A girl here was wearing pajama pants today and could not tell she was wearing fixator. .. I was wrong about girl though. .. One girl lengthened 10 cm and they say she will be okay but she's still recovering. ... but I'm not sure she exercised enough and 10 cm is a lot
Having surgery on Tuesday or Wednesday. . Met the Dr today..He asked me how much I wanted to leng1.5 yearsn. . He said there wer6-7 different lengthening intervals, from 3-6 cm,6-9 and 9-11 cm. He recommended 5 or 6 cm as the ideal so Was happy when I said 6 cm. I asked him about complications. He is very confident that as long as I follow his instructions, everything will be fine. . He wants me to lengthen .6 mm a day. I won't start lengthening until I go home though. Patients here are walking (With walker) The day after surgery. He is very upfront about total recovery time. .. From 8 months total to 1.5 years. . This is for 6-7 cm. Ultimately it is up to the patient. I agree with him btw that there is no need to stay in hospital while lengthening. One can do the exercises by themselves and the patient of course lengthens himself. . He does say that after lengthening, we need to come back for a checkup and then of course at the end of consolidation to remove frames. . If you have questions, feel free to ask
Dont see how I can lose 1 cm with external. .... Once you lengthen a certain amount I don't understand how it is possible to shrink. I think that maybe patients think they have lengthened let's say 6 cm but in reality only lengthened 5 cm, but I can't see how you shrink to 5 cm if you actually lengthen 6 cm. Jerry. The Dr said ballerina is caused by 2 things. The first is the fault of the surgeon. The second is if you don't do the exercises that are prescribed. ,He says it won't be an issue if I simply follow his instructions. The thing he emphasized most was keeping the legs straight and not bending the knees. Pin site infections are very minor and easily taken care of.
As far as I know, Dr Bagirov does not offer lon or latn.
