Hahah when I saw my name on there kinda laughed as I haven’t done the surgery yet.
Just like you and many others it’s still a dream. Won’t be doing it anytime soon but will definitely do it. 3inches first in femurs and then will possibly go for an additional surgery on tibia.
I’ve read few diaries from people who have done 2 surgeries and only kinda remember 1.
Meck, he did his surgery with a Turkish surgeon if I’m right, not sure but he went over 12cm which is impressive and he says he can walk normally, so that was encouraging.
Also Asian, who done his surgery recently with Dr Giotikas he has done 8cm so far and he says he will be doing an additional surgery on tibia, so I’m looking forward to his for now.
At the end of the day anyone can dream, but to work for it is what is hard. So don’t give up, go for femurs 8cm, first and if that goes well you can think about an additional surgery, that’s what I came to in conclusion. As for surgeons there’s many decent surgeons nearly all surgeons from USA are good. But I have Dr Parihar or Dr Giotikas in mind as I am an Indian/ Portuguese citizen living in the UK and it’ll be easier for me to possibly go get it done in those countries.
Anyways I’m not sure if what I said was helpful but that’s what I have in mind, and have found out.
All the best
