ok you said you took mobicab to travel.

1. did mobicab wait for your appointment to finish and took you back to your house from the clinic? or you booked 2 mobicab, one for going and one for coming?
2.  Is Mangal Anand clinic easy to get into on wheelchair? I know hospitals are wheelchair friendly insidide but usally in India just outside the hospital its still very hard to enter due to obstacles and stairs etc. Did you take your care taker to clinic appointments?

1. Yes, I took their 6 hours 90 km plan.
2. It's fully accessible from the main gate to the consultation room. Most people who go there are recovering from some kinda ortho condition like hip replacement or fracture.

I didn't donate blood and I didn't need any transfusion. Most people don't need any transfusion for this surgery. If it becomes necessary then they'll get it for you it's not a big deal. The place is surrounded by multiple big hospitals and blood banks.

are u still planning for tibias? how much length and where?

[tallmen]

are u still planning for tibias? how much length and where?

4 to 5 cm in tibia with precice. I'll go with dr parihar again because other options don't make much sense. I've done it once so won't be difficult to do it in the same env again.

In the next 3-4 months. It'll suck man but being short sucks even more so I'll do it. I'll be average after doing my tibia.

How much was the surgery?

[Growth.journey]

You don’t even notice the height increase until 5cm so it seems
Hardly worth it for that length only

Yeah that's why I decided to go with 5cm.

was blood transfusion risk even mention to you as a risk/possibiliy pre op in the counselling and consent meeting with the surgeon?

nope. I know people who got blood transfusion because of dengue and accident in India so it's very common to get blood and people generally don't talk about the NAT testing issue you mentioned. I think there's not much awareness about this issue.

Can you talk about the perception of others towards you?  Do people say something is different?  Do they notice you're taller or not really?

No one really noticed tbh. Most of my friends are tall so I am still shorter than them but I def feel better.

[lessthanavg8300]

You lengthened the perfect amount.  Enough to feel good but not so much that you get a million questions and are the talk of the town.  This is what Im shooting for.  If you re-break this obviously might go out the door but its a trade off and worth it for some people.

I'll be going to get 2 more inches on my tibia. My friends are now used to my new height I wonder if they'll notice 2 more inches.

[lessthanavg8300]

Well Ill be curious.  Keep us updated and good luck.

nice...I have been thinking about getting my Tibia done a lot laterly .

[Galileo]

They don't advertize at all. They don't accept cosmetic patient easily. Cosmetic LL is not his main practice and he rarely do cosmetic LL (like 3,4 cases per year) so ads are out of the question.

Hey congratulations for your lengthening!

1. On what criteria does he decide with who he performs the cll with?
2. And how did you manage that he chooses you?
3. How much did the surgery cost and how much did you pay for all the time you stayed there?

Thank you for your insight!

[tallmen]

1. On what criteria does he decide with who he performs the cll with?
A. I think he avoids young people who wants to hide it from their family and people who have unrealistic expectations and doesn't understand the risks.
2. And how did you manage that he chooses you?
A. I think he'll do it for anyone as long as you understand the risks, have realistic expectations and some kind of support from family etc.
3. How much did the surgery cost and how much did you pay for all the time you stayed there?
A. around 42k usd for nail and surgery and per month cost was around 1k$ per month (including rent, internet, food, caretaker, and other misc stuff). My rent was very cheap because I stayed with my friends otherwise it'll be around 1k just for rent) so you can assume 1.5-2k in total per month.

when travel thru mumbai city to get surgery did you feel some what scared because of how much chaos and dirty it is (like dharvi and surrounding areas) in general as you travel thru?

I know this does not mean anything about the hospital but on the journey to the hospital when you see the surrounding did you suddenly feel extra scared thinking what I am doing?

The route from my place to the hospital was pretty clean and didn't have any problems other than traffic. I didn't cross dharvi. I saw a lot of skylines and greenery on the way and the under-construction bridges for the metro.

[Growing Experience]

I'll be going to get 2 more inches on my tibia. My friends are now used to my new height I wonder if they'll notice 2 more inches.

Thats awesome! It'll be a better decision than rebreaking as effort will be same but more gains 

I wish you all the best!

If there is NO method at this hospital to self donate blood before surgery will you still get tibias surgery here only? or will you do it in foreign country

My father has the same blood group as mine so that won't be a problem.

[toyz]

My father has the same blood group as mine so that won't be a problem.

donor should not be more than 60 year old and should not have any health problem. Is your father fitting this criteria?
