VERY FERST STEP - INDIA - Dr. Anil Raheja

Edit Post

I am impressed by -Dr  A-nake reply, he gives much details and concern.  Take it slow and listen to professional advice from the Doctors.   Stay strong.

Don't be too hard on yourself Disobedient. You're not a loser for going home while still recovering. You lengthened four bones along with all the soft tissues so it's only natural recovery will take a long time.

Btw, I like how Dr. Tardthong always seems to give a detailed response to emails. He's been thorough in email convos with me and it looks like it's the same with you. Wish there was a cosmetic lengthening patient under his care currently.  It would be great to hear that person's opinion of him. As of now he costs around the same as the Beijing clinic for LON. He does Fitbone also. Plus the hospital he practices at looks very high quality.

I like dr. Porn A nake Tart Thong. His name screams sex.

Sorry for the bad joke, how are you my dear? Strong woman like yourself shouldn't have done LL,  you would've accomplished anything with your tenacity and patience.

Life is funny, one can only see a certain angle at a time.

Hey Diso,

Did you send x-rays to these doctors, and are their responses in reaction to the x-rays?

yup it seems he is very reliable doctor, I mean the doctor who show lot of concern for the email, he must be so much caring about his patients
BTW, I remembered you stated once that you'll do LL in March, did you decide with whom you'll have it ?

well at least 2 member in my family would say I'm loser to do such a thing and back in this pathetic situation, anyway I agree with u he seems very caring doctor, and  in my opinion Thailand in general make a good choice for LL " I mean comparing to India", at least their PT so advanced, not like India..

I'm not regretting doing LL, but If I could turn back time, I guess I would make different choices


Polycrates

yup, I sent my last x-ray,,,

hey Diso sorry i havent gotten to you sooner, but between me going out early and coming back when everyone is gone and the fact that my internet connection in the mornings is slow and when i wanted to show my doc your xray i could only upload the front ones but not the side view. Anyway Ill show them tomorrow to my doc. He saw the front and he needed to see the sides, In any case he says he really recommends to you to stay on your devices. I saw your xrays and they look good!! for all the LL that you did and the device that is not so great it is not bad at all!!)) i have seen worse with less lengthening than you!! i was glad to see you X-rays!!!
so ill get back to you since im with pain now and probably spend all day inside tomorrow.

hi there
sorry to hear about your pain,  don't worry at all you can ask him even after  a week I'm not in a rush..

HI DISO::: so i asked,

the good news, he actually thinks your consolidation looks good, coming from him, this is really good)))) he also thinks your bones look straight enough for plates.

the encouraging news::: he thinks you should do it with your own doctor, and the risk with plates are that they can break. i asked him if he can do the plates, and he responded "i can but i really dont want to do it" with a kind of sad face expression. I think he doesnt really want to touch other doctors job. In any case he thinks you are far better just keeping your devices on. I asked him to estimate how long you would wear your current devices, he said "its hard to tell, but anywhere from 2 to 6 months"

well Disobedient girl)) thats all from my end)))

God , 2-6 months , such a long time, Dr rah would say the same number but he'll replace weeks instead months!.. stupid Indian doctors
I really appreciate your  help, Regky,.. thanks to you and to your doctor too..

update

so I've contacted the med department in my Embassy.. told them about my situation , I don't know what kind of help they may offer ... but as far from I know, they could do some arrangements to let the pt and medicine covered by the government health insurance , since my insurance  now only covered that but inside UAE, and only the Emergency situations overseas ...
so they asked me to sent some documents, and info, and told me to come in Mon, ..

if that doesn't work, I think I fly back home, I wont stay in my parent's house, I may take an apartment , I still don't want  anyone to know about the LL, but GOD apartment in Dubai! that would be costly ..
