Hello,

I'm 29 years old, male, Japanese, 162cm of height.

I had the LL surgery at Jane hospital in India by Dr. Sringari in middle of April.
I have turned 1.1 cm as of now.

I try to make a diary in concise and on all the fact bases.
Anyone interested in having a surgery with Dr. Sringari, I am glad to answer the questions.

thanks

What is your goal height?
How is your overall impression so far?

My overall impression has been good so far.

No major pain as of today, staying at a single room, the doctor, physio very professional...

[tam408]

Hi Gaki,

Genki? I was wondering what type of method do you use for LL? How long does the doctor said you have to stay in Indian until you achieved your goal height.

Thank you for answering my question.
I think you're really brave to go thorough this operation and Gluck to you.

Here is the information I thought might be helpful..

・Doctor(Sringari); Very professional and nice person, Always reply me quick when I ask whatever in whatapp. No major pain so far.Frame looks very solid.
・Physio(Harry); Very Professional and nice person, visit me once a day and do exercise.
・Caretaker(Harris); Nice person and very helpful. He helps me anything I ask..(shopping, toilet,shower, haircut, moving in a chair,,)　He comes at around 11AM and leave 6:30PM, 7 days a week.

・Guest house; Neat and clean( more or less） Staying at a single room, feel comfortable.
・Food; I had the following so far; Pasta, Hamburger, Sandwich, Noodle, Bread, Soup, Vegetables.. some of them I like it, some I dont but overall these are OK.However need more improvement for quality and quantities (currently requesting.)

・Surgical method; External frame with LON
・Expecting duration of stay; 5 months for 7 to 8 cm lengthening, which is told by a doctor and physio that is highly possible.
・Price; $14000 (Incl. accommodations for 4 months in a single room and meal)

Hi, thanks. I been visiting my GF parents in Russia. I'm here at the minute and it's hard to get decent internet. I will be in India at the start of July to talk to the doctors.

[Parle]

Hello, you are in Russia.. wow. I believe you coming to India is for a consultation. Harry told me that for having a surgery you need to book time and day in advance. Anyway he said that you can call me anytime..

The pain I was feeling on my left leg are gone now and Harry told me that everything is going well.

Well, Anything let me know.

[Parle]

Hi,

Due to the limited access to the internet where I stay at, I can only use internet midnight , non at day-time.
For day time use, I have paid but still internet is super slow!!
 
I will update when internet become available the day time.. I'm calling to a service center many times..

I had X-ray on July 31st and was shown that right leg is 7.7 mm and left leg is 7.9 mm.
I was expecting something 7.0 mm so it was quite surprise. It seems like every mm I turned I won..
 
I am expecting to remove frames on Aug 5th.

About the physio session

After turning 3 mm, 2 times a day, once before noon  once afternoon or night with physio therapist. (sometimes only once a day) Sunday is off, no physio. Also the day for X ray no physio. Each session takes about 10 minutes.

[Parle]

About X-Ray.

Taken once in a month at a hospital. Had 4 times in total. Only the last one, 2 shots was taken from different angle, side way and front side. Told by physio (Dr. Harry) that the front shot is more accurate. The last one, the one taken in a side way showed 7.2 or something for both legs ( X ray is not returned yet) but the one in front shot showed 7.7 for right, 7.9 for left. Therefore, recommendable to take a shot from front angle, more accurate at least the final time.

No CT scan was taken. Told that for CT scan extra expense needed.

How u are treated

In a hotel,

There are about 5-6 hotel boys, so anything you need you can ask them ( yet for hotel side, they seems not so pleasant..)
And, there is a care taker coming to a hotel 7 days a week from about 10:00 am to 6:00-7:00 pm. u can ask him anything u need.

In a apartment

u stay with caretaker. Anything u need, he helps u. Cooking, laundry, cleaning, shopping outside...he does everything alone.

He seems to me super busy.. He is very nice and doing very well but one thing I don't like is every morning, I need to go to his room and wake him up. Otherwise, he never shows up and sleeping and sleeping. I called him on the phone but somehow I can't reach..I prefer breakfast at 9:00 or as late at 9:30. but I should not complain as I understand he is super busy and just tired...
