This is painful to read. It's even more painful to know that not only the doctor is avoiding you but that your mates aren't supporting you as well. It surely isn't the case here, my doctor is visiting me every day and his current patients who are now my friends will gather up to come to the clinic today to check up on me.
I still share the same opinion as helloworld, Guichet should be the right doctor to fix you up because hes been following your journey since the beginning and he has the skill to do it. I honestly hope he leaves the money greediness aside and takes your case in a more serious away. If that doesn't happen, and as helloworld has said, you wouldn't be the first patient from Guichet that Monegal has to fix so don't abandon hope.

I thought we were going to surprise you :-(

You can still surprise me in many ways 
Unicorn, just skimmed through your entire diary, and I have to say, it brought back a lot of bad memories for when I was going through this sh*t. Dr. G is a very good doctor, and he means well...but he doesn't have a kind bedside manner (neither does Dr. Paley, from what I hear, although Dr. Rozbruch is very nice and a lot more patient - I used him to remove a screw on my hip last year), and I think he's stretched too thin between working in Milan and London.
There were a number of times when I was think the thick of the pain/lengthening/PT when I felt abandoned by him. He really only visited me like twice after I had the surgery, maybe three times (but I can only vividly remember two times). But I knew what I had to do, and I was determined to get taller. That's how I know I did this for the right reason. If I had done LL to impress any hypothetical female or women in general, I'd have never made it past 4cm. LL is probably the hardest physical challenge (let's hope!) that we will face in our lives. But the reward is not only being taller, but knowing what you had to endure in order to achieve your new height. You'll never take walking for granted again, that's for damn sure.
In your case, you had a pretty serious complication/setback, and that I'm sorry I can't relate to. I think Dr. G is maybe not giving you the attention he could because maybe something more urgent came up and maybe he figures that he can sort of do your second surgery "whenever." I'm not trying to make excuses for him...I do agree he should be paying you more attention right now. But overall, I think he's a very skilled surgeon and very brilliant in general (maybe too much so - he's a tad arrogant sometimes), just unorganized and kinda scatterbrain-ish. But I AM confident he will fix you very soon and you will eventually come out of this nightmare.
At the end of the day, just know that your current state isn't forever. I know it seems like it is right now. I remember how depressed I was throughout the process, lonely, horny (lol), hated being crippled (self-inflicted), my walking looked terrible for so long...LL is a looooong ass process. The diaries I read really made it seem to easy. I based my decision to go to Dr. G really because of ShyShy's diary, and I wonder if I was wrong to rely on just that one seemingly ultra successful case. I DO believe he is real, but I don't think his ultra fast recovery is the norm.
Hang in there Unicorn. You will get through this.
Hey Yellow Spike what i know you walked normally 6 months post surgery right? of course without running and sports just walking normally. right?
Why has the post by Helloworld here been removed? Is there a hidden agenda in this forum? Whenever a Dr Monegal's patient posts something that demonstrates bad management it's deteled from the forum. Helloworld said I was right and then his post was deleted. Are you collaborating with this doctor?

I wouldn't be surprised if something like that was going on 😒

God, you're the most paranoid troll I've ever seen. You say Dr. Monegal in every post, you think of Dr. Monegal every day, you dream about Dr. Monegal, you breathe Dr. Monegal.
People are allowed to delete and edit their posts at their own free will, I've done it countless of times. Get over it.
I didn't remove the post, but I'm going to kindly request not to derail this thread into a Monegal debate. This is Unicorn's personal experience and she's going through a tough time.
Hi UNICORN, how is your feeling to your Lengthened leg now, have you confirm for the new operation date
