Quote from: Kenda on April 24, 2019, 04:03:04 PMIm sorry but why on earth would you do lengthening if you are 167 cm?

Also did he insert a nail inside your knees? And how does it feel to have a nail in and out of your tibia?

Thankyou,
I did the surgery because I was not happy with the proportion between my lower and upper legs. My lower legs always looked to small in my eyes. I also didnt walked very elegantly (I had kneecaps who were really pointing inwards) so I also did a rotation of my tibia's to fix that.

So to be clear, it was not to gain heigth (I was 167cm)

Kind regards

Jolien

Hahahaha the best question I had so far!! It feels like a biiiiig heavy nail in the middle of you bone. exactly like it is! hahahaha no you dont feel anything!! inside the bone you dont have sensation so dont worry. You are only sore at your knee because the nail goes in true the patellar tendon.

I hope soon!! For now I don't know yet! I quit lengthening because of lack in bone regeneration and I'm waiting for new orders from the surgeon.

Quote from: champion90 on April 24, 2019, 11:07:47 AMJolien also I would like to work in a year from dr Giotikas .. and facing everything alone I would also opt for the Theseus rehabilitation center .. could you tell me the price per night and what does not include? and if there are monthly discounts since I would be at least 2 months .. thank you friend

The price they asked me was
1 bed bedroom: 385euros -> I got 20% reduction: 300 euros
2 bed bedroom: 224 euros -> I got 20% reduction: 180 euros
3 bed bedroom: 180 euros -> I got 20% reduction: 144 euros.

This includes everything you get in a hospital (no medication included but this is payed by giotikas) + physiotherapy. If you stay here you theoretically only need to pay the taxi to the hospital and back for x-rays and surgery.

But to be honest, this is THE most expensive rehab centre of the city and it really laks experience (only open for 2 years) I THINK (I'm not sure) that there are a lot better centre which you will pay the same or less. If I would do it again I would go to a more experienced centre.

Edit Post

did you look for it or did Giotikas recommend it to you? Because I wouldn't know how to find one .. in fact it's not cheap if you have to stay there 3 months .. thk homie

Hi Jolien

On Dr. Giotikas BJR website it states:

After your discharge from the hospital you will be transferred either to Mediterranean rehabilitation Centre (MESKA)  in Loutraki or to your hotel room or apartment if you have chosen to have physiotherapy as an outpatient.
​
Are Dr. Giotikas requiring us to stay at Theseus rehabilitation center or do physiotherapy at Theseus?

So Dr. Giotikas does not using or referring us to Mediterranean rehabilitation Centre (MESKA) anymore?

Thanks

Shouldn't the doctor see patient x ray at least every month? How Dr Giotikas didn't notice your lack of bone regeneration till you are almost 5cm? Are you not worried?

Hi Azman,

He asked us to pay in advance for the physiotherapy sessions at Theseus. So that is the standard treatment plan. You are not forced to do this. If you want to do it different he will pay your money back and you can go to another centre, a private therapist,...

He didnt told me anything about MESKA.

Kind regards

We had x-rays every two weeks, and the previous x-rays he said my consolidation looked good so I dont know what changed his mind.

I just got a call from him, the CT scan looked great, so my bone regeneration is fine so I can do the last mm in peace!

Kind regards
