Hello, even tho this review may look fishy since i dont have any posts before. I was a lurker for long time. Even when some people told me to stay away from india i decided to go with gurgaon team and i dont regret it. If you have some questions i can share my whatsapp number in dms just to prove this is not fake review.
Ok so i arrived at 29th of August. One of the physio workers Navish picked me on airport and shift me to hotel near of the hospital. Few hours later we did some formalities, i paid the package in cash etc. Next day they shifted me to the hospital "Medharbour" which is very decent hospital even for Europe standards so i have no complains about this. They did some examinations and i was ready for my surgery at 31th august.
Day of surgery: they are doing epidural anestesia to control pain after surgery. It last about 3 hours, then they shift me to emergency room. I had fever for few days before it settled down. Pain was actually much more manageable than i thought it will be i would say max pain was 5/10 it felt like my legs are being pushed to needles. I asked for painkillers which lower it so much i could have sleep without any problems. Nurses and stuff were very helpful and friendly so no complains here as well. After 5 days they shifted me to the hotel. I started lengthening day 8 by 1mm per day. First xrays after 1 cm

You have to move on a chair whole the time if you want to go to the bathroom etc which is kinda complicated sometimes but i got used to it. They are doing massages once a day plus they have callus device in gym which you are using daily too.
First standing after 3 cm: it was kinda difficult to stand up and i was scared af but it wasnt that bad. First time i was putting my weight on hands then i later on i was doing it without holding crutches. It felt pretty good to be able to do some steps and standing after so long time i felt relief. They are giving us milk 2 times a day. Also 3 times a meal. I didnt like few dishes but they changed it and bringing me the food i liked more so no complains here. Variety is enough. Also theres a big gym with lot of exercisers so good for coping with time i quess. But i have not much of energy these days to go there. Im at 4 cm today
