DAY 1.
I arrived at the hospital around 1:30 The hospital looks very modern, the nurses are nice overall, I went into the operating room at 5:30 and woke up at 9:30, the surgery lasted 4 hours, I woke up with severe pain 9/10 nausea and shivering, I vomited Half an hour after I woke up it helped me with the nausea, after two hours of pain I finally got painkillers that started to work an hour after that, I was able to sleep 3 hours on and off,
I woke up the next day and apparently the painkillers really the pain was bearable,

fake diary?
(https://i.imgur.com/aSmwIbq_d.jpg)
I had the surgery last year in August. If you follow the diary you will understand that it is not fake because it is not a good diary… I did not come to do marketing to them, if you wait patiently you will understand.
I am writing this diary to reveal the truth about this doctor !!!!

no problem,
it would be better if you write them at the beginning of the diary.
thanks.

OMG your right thigh bone looks like it's split in two :-X I am wondering how Dr Halil fixed that

It should unite eventually, but you're right it should not be like that !!

DAY 5.
I was released from the hospital, a company driver came to pick me up at the hotel where all the patients are staying, I met some patients who told me stories about other patients who experienced complications, I was hoping nothing would get in the way of my process
A nurse came to the hotel to change my bandages, I asked her if she was a professional nurse she said yes but according to her level of professionalism I bet she did not learn anything, she said I probably have a left leg infection at the surgery site, she gave me an antibiotic shot and cleaned the area.
PAIN.
My pain level 5/6 Although it's not crazy pain but definitely pain that makes you want to stay in bed!
I will continue to upload all my x-rays here!!!

If you take a closer look at this diary, you can immediately see that it is a fake story.
Your operation was a year ago and you are telling about your pain here in the present and hoping that your process will go well. this is like a bad joke
It's a shame that there are people like you who put everything and everyone in a bad light with their negativity. This forum should serve to motivate people to fulfill their dream to become taller.
FAKEEEEEEEE :-X

FAKEEEEEEEE :-X
I have proof that this diary is real, if you want I will upload pictures of myself Bare face with Dr. Halil. My x-rays. Photographs of the scars. I will prove to you that nothing here is a lie!
And you're right this forum should be used by people to make their dreams come true, but they also need to know how to choose a professional doctor so they do not get hurt, this is a serious surgery, and I recommend people do it, but this diary is meant for people in the forum to make right decisions Before they do this surgery!
You will not be able to silence me !!!!
-
do you have any other x-rays ?
-
I do have!!!
I will upload my x-ray in my next updates.
-
Just to confirm, you’ve completed this surgery already, and are writing the diary post-op?
You may be the first person to do that
I’ve also had my surgeries done with LLT, looking forward to see how your diary turns out!

I did the surgery in August last year! And now I'm uploading the diary

DAY 20.
I did X-rays, I reached 1.8 cm in the left leg and 1.7 in the right leg,
According to Dr. Buldu my bone growth looks really good, and he says I should extend 1.75 millimeters or 2 millimeters a day, otherwise I will get an early union. It sounds crazy to me my body can not do it, and I'm afraid of nerve damage. I find it hard to believe that there is a doctor in a first world country who would recommend 2 millimeters a day !!!
INFACTION.
I still have an infection in the wound of the surgery, and the wounds secrete pus, and I'm afraid the infection will get to the bone, the nurse continues to give me an antibiotic shot every 3 days but it does not really help because the infection still remains, I asked Dr. buldu and he said I have nothing to worry about! Even though he did not test me himself, so I do not know how he can be so sure that everything is fine!
PAIN.
Crazy pain in left leg 8/9 probably because of the infection, I can sleep maybe two hours all night, right leg no pain at all

I will just mention here to anyone wondering, I had the surgery last year in August. And now I'm uploading the diary!

DAY 38.
I did another x-ray and reached 3.7 cm on both legs, the X-ray at the link below.
INFACTION.
The infection in both left leg surgical wounds is still active. I try to find out with the doctor if the infection has reached the bone, but he says it is an infection in the wound that did not reach the bone, I should continue to get an antibiotic injection every 3 days and it will pass, I start to lose patience because the pain of the infection worsens. The nurse visited me in the room gave me a shot at the contaminated wound and changed bandages,
PAIN.
In the left leg, (the leg of the infection) 7/8. On the right leg 2/3
2 patients here told me they were lied to about their condition.
I wonder if it is worthwhile to stop lengthening, and remove the external device, I am afraid the doctor is lying because he does not want me to talk to other patients about my complication.

I for example lied about the fact that I have a bone infection (Osteomyelitis). They were afraid I would tell this to new patients who come to the hotel to consult with patients who have already had the surgery! This is probably not good for business…

If they lied to you about bone infection, I wonder what else do they lie about..

Hello @Ozzi are you speaking about pin site infections or actual bone (Femur)?
I’m aware infection at the pin sites are almost unavoidable however if treated properly are low risk and do eventually pass.
Now infections of the bone I presume carry a much higher risks/complications. Are you saying you did have this and was lied to about your condition?
-
How are you doing now? Seeing complications like this breaks my heart. This is a messy surgery that I don't trust to doctors outside of the US.
-
I for example lied about the fact that I have a bone infection (Osteomyelitis).
Osteomyelitis looks like that
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Ostermyelitis_Tibia.jpg/274px-Ostermyelitis_Tibia.jpg)
There is no ostiomyelitis on your X-ray images. you panic for no reason. Infection in pinsite it's typical problem for almost everyone.

This is what bone infection looks like at a late stage. I will update a new x-ray tomorrow, where you can clearly see that a bone infection has started

Hay.
Indeed I am talking about a deep bone infection (femur). The doctor lied to me about it and said it was just a pin site infection,

DAY 50.
I reached 6.2 cm in the right leg. And 5.3 cm in the left leg. For some reason the device stopped working (I'm not the only one who had it happen here, I met some other patients that it happened to) the doctor claims I have an early union. That's why the device stopped, it's of course a complete lie!
INFECTION.
The doctor says I need another operation to break the bone again. I sent my x-rays to some senior doctors and everyone says there is no union yet. They claim there is an infection in the bone. You can see it in the X-rays below at the link, I marked it in red, this doctor is a big liar !!! He does not stop lying, in my opinion the reason he is lying is because he is afraid that I will tell new patients about the complications and they will cancel the surgery! My wounds of course continue to secrete contaminated pus.
PAIN.
Insane pain in left leg. All the pain I have experienced so far is nothing compared to the pain of a bone infection. Pain 8-9 out of 10. I cried like a baby in pain !!!

Get well soon if it's like you're really telling .
Only short Information:
Anyone who is only a little familiar with orthopedics and X-rays can clearly see on the X-rays that there is clear bone growth.
The senior doctors you asked have no idea, because if they had any idea, they would know that there is bone surplus.
What is Bone Infection ?
Osteomyelitis is a bone infection caused by bacteria or fungi. It causes painful swelling of bone marrow, the soft tissue inside your bones. Without treatment, swelling from this bone infection can cut off blood supply to your bone, causing bone to die.
If yours isn't like that, then if I were you I wouldn't be worry.
Instead of calling your doctor a liar, you should contact him and invest your time in your health.
I write to a lot of people who have had this operation, I've never heard of a case like this.
Another question: do you have videos of how you run? A before and after picture.
Your story is strange and has no conclusive evidence that you actually underwent the surgery or that you actually suffered any complications.
Your theory about the non-existent bone growth and bone infection is absolutely wrong, I can't imagine what you are saying is the statements of real doctors. :-\

I went to another doctor who took a biopsy from the bone. And the answer from the lab was that the bone was with an infection. So do not come and tell me what I have or what I do not have !!
This doctor is a big liar because he claimed I had a union, and today 9 months after the surgery there is still no union. I will upload recent x-rays that will prove it!
So do me a favor, and get out of my diary, it's pretty clear you're a live life taller marketer, you're a company of scammers who make people disabled !!! 9 months after surgery and I am still in a wheelchair !!!
-
I think you're just a stupid idiot with no hobbies and scaring others who want to do the same surgery.

I think you're just a stupid idiot with no hobbies and scaring others who want to do the same surgery.
If you want I will bring you any proof that I did the surgery with Dr. Buldu, ask for anything and I will prove to you that I am not lying. But we both know you're scared because you're working with this doctor and you do not want to lose clients. You will not be able to silence me I will tell my story and save potential patients from becoming disabled. Such a doctor should be outlawed !!!
-
I'm really sorry for your current situation 🙏
please don't lose your hope.
Thank you for informing people with serious complications.

By the way I am not trying to scare anyone who wants to have the surgery. I recommend everyone to do this surgery is life changing. I do advise them not to do the surgery with a criminal doctor like Dr. Buldu…
-
I've done this surgery with the OP and know him in person
I can verify the authenticity of this diary, OP is a stand-up guy and his story is 100% true, I witnessed it unfolding with my own eyes
This story will unfold as both shocking and tragic, and if I knew what happened to him, I would've never done this surgery...
-
Thank you Ozzi for your diary and updates. I hope everything will come good for you at the end🙏. I was doubting to do it there but after reading your diary I will definitely not go there.
-
OMG thank you ozzi for being so brave and sharing your story!
Buldu & livelifetaller fked up my legs too, and I am going to file a Class Action Lawsuit against them! Please message me and we can discuss further.
Also if anyone else was disfigured by this doctor, please message me and we can set up the lawsuit with my lawyer ASAP!

You should tell your story with a separate post! It would be helpful to have all the bad information on Buldu in one place

Can you open up a diary so we can read what happened in detail? Like X-rays maybe?
-
I was told he conducted multiple LL surgeries per day so it's very likely to exhaust himself out so of course by this way the efficacy tends to be pretty low.
Is that true?
By the way don't do femur with LON countless informations have expounded the irreversible aftermaths that can be caused by LON femurs. But yh it's too late to warn you against it..
How are u doing now?

This fking idiot must be Halil's spy on this forum.
So this surgeon, for convincing u to believe the outcome was good, lied to you you already had a union while actually you were infected.
Well fk it I hope it would've not led to severe issues.

You're right it was a mistake to make LON. The chance of getting a bone infection (Osteomyelitis) is more than 20% with the LON method !!! If Dr. Boldo was an honest doctor. He would have mentioned it before the surgery, unfortunately it is now too late.
I am still recovering from some additional surgeries I underwent in an attempt to control the infection, people need to understand that bone infection (Osteomyelitis) is very serious, it is considered one of the hardest ways to get an infection. People lose legs like that, I hope my story has a happy ending…
-
Bone infection shouldnt happen, because before infection reach the bone it would reach the skin first in the pinsites, the team should see and treat it, which would avoid reaching the bone.
The bigger problem here is that they ignored the infection in skin, which is a very serious mistake
-
DAY 70.
I reached 6.7 on the left leg and 7.3 on the right.
Infection.
Dr. Buldu was able to treat the infection nicely, and the infection was gone. I was very stressed because of it, but Dr. Buldu handled it very professionally!
I feel great right now and I will continue to my goal which is 8.5 cm. My x-rays also look great. (I have attached a link below).

DAY 84.
I did an X-ray. I reached 8.5 cm in both legs! Bone growth looks great! (I attached a link to the x-ray)
https://imgur.com/a/TkEunUF
I will summarize my experience. It was a long process that required a lot of patience, and especially mental strength. But it's worth it, it definitely solved the height problem I feel great at my new height, at the beginning I was a little angry at my doctor because I was very stressed during the process. But I can say Dr. Buldu did a great job.
I recommend to anyone who is afraid to undergo this surgery. go for it!!! It's worth it. It's three months of sacrifice and in the end it pays off!
I will continue to update here on how my recovery is. I'm still dreaming of going back to playing football, I believe it's possible! In the coming weeks I will attach my running video

Very glad your infection cleared up and you are now done lengthening. How has your bone healing been?

9 months after surgery and I am still in a wheelchair !!!
DAY 84.
Could you pls clarify what did you mean by 9 months in wheelchair ?
How come you opinion about Dr.Buldu changed by 180 degrees ?
I'm considering Dr.Buldu for the surgery but outcome of your diary is very confusing.

It took me a long time to recover because I had to have another surgery to treat the infection. Dr. Buldu eventually treated the infection and solved the problem. My opinion changed after Doctor Buldu treated the problem. It proved to me that he is a good doctor who can handle any problem!

Was that infection caused by the complications of LL surgery?

Infection can be caused by any surgery with a probability of between 1% and 2%. Unfortunately I was unlucky and got an infection
-
absolute mess of a diary, first he talks negative about the doctor then he talks positive because the doctor operated on his infection, and the infection had gotten out of hand due to the negligence of the care team
also couldnt understand if the guy is in a wheelchair
just ...
-
This diary tells me this; It looks like dr halil or his team do not care much about aftercare or follow ups of their patients. If a complication happens later on, they think they can handle it with additional interventions or surgeries.. What if they can not? Whats going to happen? Honestly i would not entrust my legs to them. :-X
-
This diary seems fake. I think it is the livelifetaller team that wanted to post a fake positive diary and then got caught posting old pics, and then tried to deflect the situation by claiming that it was intended to be a critical diary, thus making up the whole issue of possible bone infection which amounted to nothing anyway. Either way, livelifetaller, wannabetaller and the like should not be trusted, they only care about the €€€€€€€.

Hi, everyone. A small update. I'm back running! 🏃 I feel like I'm fully recovered. In terms of the daily routine I am 100 percent, in terms of athletic ability 80 percent. I am attaching a video of me running in the link below

Since your op was done one year ago, So when you started your diary, you wasn’t angry since all your problems were treated nicely, why was you so negative at the beginning of your story then suddenly you were very positive about your op with this doctor, this is really strange.

At the beginning of my diary I was negative because the infection was still active. I couldn't walk and lay in bed all day, so understand my frustration... now that I feel great and can run and do everything so I've calmed down a bit.
Now that I'm healthy and I can think straight. I think this doctor is ok. The only thing I can say about him is that he does LON on the femur which is a bit dangerous. Beyond that, the doctor knows his job.
-
The timeline is really weird, this is very scary diary, are you real, or someone threatened you, or the doctor stole your account, anyway that makes me run away
-
i think is fake. who does surgery 1 year ago and starts posting sequential updates? why not posting everything at once at this point? and how do you remember what you did in day 20 for example, when day 20 was an year ago ;D ;D

Yes, very odd diary. Either you are low IQ or something. Can you post your full experience in one paragraph please.

I guess they threatened and then offered a bargain like; change your reviews so we fix your legs for free..
-
This is a really bad bad bad diary from the beginning to the end.
The timeline is full of sh*t and the way you we were talking about the doctor before and after in a very close time interval is very confusing and non sense!!!
If they threatened you please mention it also so that your dairy can be really objective helpful for the others because right now for me either you're fake or you're not brilliant enough to tell your story as it is/was!!!
