Consider just doing 2.5inches on your femurs and calling it a day. Youll be about 5'10 at that point which is a great height. Doing more will cost you in many dimensions. But you do you, not trying to discourage.
Quote from: vincentfreeman on November 25, 2022, 06:33:05 PMThey do provide us with supplements - but I am still at the hospital not at the rehab centre (to be clear the food isn't terrible it's just not optimum nutrition wise). In the rehab centre there is more flexibility with food, you can ask for shopping to be done for you etc. so I will put together a proper diet once I move in there in a few days.
Nice.
Is the rehab center exclusively for LL patients?
I also work in the engineering sector. Do you plan on going back to work after your 2 months leave? Do you think it would be possible?
I’m curious on how things will work out for you, because I want to do this surgery but can’t take 4-6 months off work. However, I can take 2 months off work.
Good luck Vincent.
I am currently almost 6cm in with betz and it’s going well.
It will be a super hard journey but worth it in the end. Clicking will be the main obstacle as it’s different for everyone , but happy to share some tips and eventually it becomes easy.
Happy to answer any questions.
After weeks of internal agonizing over whether to do this, I'm ready to make a financial commitment and send €20,000 deposit to Dr. Becker's clinic.
Three quick questions:
1) does the €53,700 cost on the website include 19% VAT or is it extra?
2) are there any extra expenses you were charged for that you didn't anticipate. For example, Dr. Becker mentioned it's about €700 to purchase the pills and vitamin supplements in bulk.
3) if I bring a large ice pack to Germany, is there a freezer to conveniently store and retrieve it?

1) all inclusive no extra
2) meds, hotels, taxi from airport 200 euro each way
3) the hospital can probably freeze it for you

To be honest I have been working about 6-8 hours a day every day at maybe 70% of usual productivity since I flew here except operation day. I personally didn't find it difficult to focus, less energy and time obviously with constant stretching, exercises etc. but being busy with work has actually kept my busy and hopefully will help the time pass. That said I am not sure if that would work for other people. Also I have taken 1-2 months of leave in case my performance was poor, but ended up not really needing it. You just need a contingency plan if something goes wrong or you aren't able to think, and also assume your productivity will be greatly reduced and work can't be your number one priority (recovery/healing always comes first.)
I am also very early into this, so will need more time to assess but If I was working day after surgery I think I will be able to continue to do so.
Do you know how much is the Rehab accommodation per day (include food, PT and medication0?

Cool man, I’m very curious on how weight bearing will be once you reach 6-7 centimeters on your femurs. Good luck and stay consistent with stretching and PT.

165 Euros per day I believe, the first 2 weeks are included.
