Quote from: Unicorn888 on August 11, 2017, 04:12:40 PMLook, whoever you are, I'm most happy that you've completed your lengthening unscathed and successfully.

But please, if you would like to promote Monegal's business by stating that for all 8 of you, "clicking was totally painless" - PLEASE do it somewhere else because you are insulting our intelligence with your transparent motives.  It is people like yourselves who mislead others into thinking that this procedure is easy and painfree.

It is damned disrespectful to use this very thread to promote another doctor's practice.  It is never a GUICHET vs MONEGAL battle here, and I don't see other insecure doctors like PALEY sending their minions over to promote their dwindling businesses while bashing other doctors.

I'm sorry for you that your recovery has not been as fast as you hoped for, and I'm sure since Monegal has a perfect record of success, not being able to run faster than Usain Bolt after leg lengthening must be contrued as a complication. 

In any case, when you pass GO, don't forget to collect $200 from Monegal.
Unicorn, I don't think that Helloworld said anything so insulting to attack him like that.
Yes, I believe him when he says that his clickings were almost painless as that happens to almost everyone who uses fitbone or precise.
The extreme pain is a trait of the crap nail that Guichet uses which is the obsolere albizzia. So the thing that you or many other patients of Guichet have pains in lengthening is not something that happened to anyone nor anyone who says something different is being paid by his doctor.

Anyway, of course this is not a debate between Guichet and other doctors. But your topic should be a lesson of how a bad case of doctor Guichet is and people should avoid that doctor at all cost.
What he did to you seems that not only he cares solely about money but he is incapable of treating complications too.
If he used a nail with the right diameter for your bones and didn't make you lengthen so fast, you would be alright now.
But this doctor couldn't even do that simple things and still charges more than almost any other doctor in the world!

So things are simple, Guichet is the worst doctor for the money he wants out there and one of the worst choices for LL generally.
Anyone who goes to him after Unicorn's experience is responsible for anything that could go wrong.

You click Albizzia and Fitbone. You don't click Precise, it works with electromagnetic fields and uses a machine.

Quote from: LLSouthAmerica on August 11, 2017, 07:12:17 PMI think by now it is plenty obvious that Dr. Monegal is making their patients do marketing for him. However, I don't think you need to fight them in this thread so long as we all ignore them and focus on your case.

I think part of the reason of your complications in Dr. Guichet overconfidence and greed. Because he most likely noticed that the 13 mm nails was too much but he probably had cases in which nothing happened. Reducing the diameter of the nails would mean to reduce their strength which would nullify the only benefit of Guichet Nail.
Everything I say is 100% honest!
ANd I do not think that posting negative stuff about a doctor can be constructed as marketing.
I am taking my time to inform people about the procedure and actually have posted many videos so that people get a real image not only theory.

My bad, I'm correct with Precise but I now remember Fitbone is also a motorized nail. Sorry for the blooper  UNICORN - Dr. Guichet Internal Femurs 8cm - Summer 2016

I don't completely doubt you helloworld. All doctors have good and bad cases. Like I said I did LL with 10 people and they all had great results. But indeed I know that Dr. Monegal makes their patient do marketing for him in the forum and gets angry whenever a patient posts something negative and even more he doesn't allow it.

Not theories, I know the truth. That's why I don't speak of Monegal as a butcher but I know his devious tendencies and I trust the people who told me their version of events.

I think we're comparing apples and oranges here.  When you mentioned painless clicking, I assumed you meant a racheting Guichet type / ISKD nail where you've to manually rotate yourself unnaturally into a pretzel to find each click.

If you meant motorized/magnetic/automatic nails like Precice or Fitbone, then I do agree, one wouldn't suffer the way we did.  And my NHS doc added that they used ISKD twice and clicking was so traumatic for patients, now they usually default to Precice if not external fixators.

That said, if stating that the LL procedure is painless, then yes, you got my heckles up because everyone has had some form of pain during lengthening and the trauma should not be trivialized for potential LLers.

Painless leg lengthening for me is an oxymoronic statement. 

However, painless clicking?  That can definitely happen even in the case of my right leg where there was no callus formation.  In fact, it was eerily too painless.
